Obituary of Angus Baker

Angus William Baker 86, Farmington, Lunenburg Co., passed away November 2, 2005, in South Shore Regional Hospital, Bridgewater. Born in Farmington, he was a son of the late Orman Jacob and Louetta Rose (Crouse) Baker. He began working at the age of 13 for the Mersey Paper Co. Ltd., where he worked for many years. He also worked on his own woodlot and had a fondness for the outdoors. He was always helping others and showing kindness in all he did. He had a very special love for children, and all nieces, nephews and little friends will remember Uncle Angus as a very kind, loving and caring man. Surviving are brothers, John (Barbara), Carmen and Loran (Irene), all of Farmington; Lovatt (Mae), Green Valley, Ont.; sisters, Bertha Eisener, Farmington; Bernice Robar, New Germany; Marjorie Varner, Stanburne; 25 nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by brother, Frank; sisters, Blanche Slack and Beatrice Taylor; brother, Francis, and a sister in infancy, and two nephews. He will be missed by his long-time adopted family the Trobaks of Farmington, especially Nolan Fancy, Cathy Holden, Jennifer and Adam Holden, Diane, Dawn and Catherine McManus, and his special girl, Breanne Fancy. He touched the heart of everyone who knew him and had many friends. You always wondered what you'd do if you ever grew up Angus, now you'll be young at heart forever! Special thanks to Lohnes' Rest Home in Scarsdale for their care of Angus the last few years. Cremation has taken place and there will be a private memorial for family and close friends at a later date. Donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or New Germany Medical Centre. Miss Me-But Let Me Go When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom filled room Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little- but not to long And not with your head bowed low Remember the love that we once shared Miss me- but let me go For this is a journey that we all must take And each must go alone, It's all part of the Master's plan A step on the way home. When you are lonely and sick of heart Go to the friends we know, And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds Miss me-but let me go July 14, 1919-November 2, 2005
