In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar 

CROSS, Angus Stewart - It is with great sadness that the Cross family wishes to announce that Angus passed away Wednesday, June 12, 2019 in the Palliative Care Unit at the VG Site, QEII, in Halifax. Angus was born in St. Stephen, N.B., on August 31, 1942 to parents Jean and Fergus. Survived by siblings, Ian (Donna), Duncan (Debbie), Alex (Sharon) and Andrea (Lars). He married his high school sweetheart, Joanne, and together they raised Wendy (Ken) Gillespie and Paul (Young Ae) Cross. He was also extremely proud of being "Boppa" and ""Grampa" to Matthew, Leah and Fiona. His love of the ocean was evident by his career as a young man in the navy, his career in the family businesses, Gabriel Aero Marine and Cross Shipyard and Marina, and enjoyed sailing in several Marblehead to Halifax ocean races. He also made many friends during his career with the Carroll car dealerships. Gus enjoyed his days coaching hockey and baseball. Those who knew Angus knew his greatest time spent was with Jo on the deck enjoying a cocktail, doing crosswords, and looking at the harbour activity in the basin. He is much loved and will be greatly missed. We are grateful for being in his life and the time we had together. In accordance with his wishes, the family plans to scatter his ashes on the sea later this year. They are hosting an informal open house for family and friends today, Saturday, June 15th, from 3-5 p.m. at the family home. (Halifax Chronicle-Herald 15 Jun 2019)
