BAIN
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Alistair (Sandy) Bain early Sunday, December 23, 2012. Loving husband, devoted father, grandfather and great-grandfather, he will be missed and mourned by us all. Born in Newtonmore, Scotland June 8th, 1939, he came to Canada the summer of 1966 where he lived a full and eventful life. A man of many skills and talents and yet reticent and unassuming, many people missed the keen wit and intelligence that was his. His was always the voice of reason in the midst of the turbulence of our unquiet lives and times. He is survived by his wife, Geraldine, daughter Jennifer, son Alistair, daughter Helen as well as stepson Michael, stepson Gordon, stepdaughter Leslie and stepdaughter Aura, nineteen grandchildren and thirteen greatgrandchildren. He was a great man and we will miss him so very much.
