335 Alfred Gardiner Mair
It is with heavy hearts that the family of Alfred Gardiner Mair of Hantsport, announces his passing on Wednesday, February 15, 2023, at the age of 88.

Alfred (known as “Alfie” to his friends), was born October 7, 1934 in the small fishing village of Portsoy, Scotland and was raised in Macduff and Aberdeen. He often reminisced about his childhood adventures such as swimming in the chilly waters of Macduff’s Tarlair Swimming Pool, and climbing cliffs to find bird’s eggs.

At age 15, after finishing school, Alfred took on an apprenticeship as a Turner and Fitter at John M Henderson-Kings Works in Aberdeen where he learned how to manufacture and assemble industrial tools and machine components from metal, a skill that was helpful in his 45-year career in the merchant navy. He started as 7th engineer with Ben Line and worked his way up to chief engineer with a steam and motor ticket. He travelled the world on oil tankers and cargo vessels to the Far East, through the Panama Canal, to Australia and along coastal Europe and beyond. He told us a story of playing a soccer match with shipmates in Antarctica, while King penguins watched “along the sidelines” with fascination. It was on his travels to Hamburg, Germany, where he met his beloved wife of 65 years, Ingeborg (Frank). In 1972 Alfred emigrated with his family to Nova Scotia to join the Fundy Gypsum Company. He later worked in the Great Lakes, with Halco Co Ltd., Misener, Upper Lakes Shipping Co.; retiring at age 65 with Algoma.

We will fondly remember Dad/Grampy for his Doric Scottish sayings, limericks, quick wit and his soft heart for the “little birdies” and nature. He had excellent hand eye coordination and was a “dab hand” at darts, pool and table tennis. He enjoyed his daily crossword and was an avid sports fan, who loved his “fitba” (soccer), golf, curling and his Blue Jays and Leafs.

Freddy, as he was lovingly referred to by his siblings, was the youngest of the late Alexander and Catherine (Wood) Mair’s eight children: Alexander, Magnus, Isabella, Margaret, William, James and Irene. Cheerio… Alfred… Alfie… Dad… Uncle… Grampy. You will be greatly missed, but we will always hold you close, within our hearts.

A graveside service will be held in Riverbank Cemetery, Hantsport, at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Alfred may be made to Hants Community Hospital Foundation, 89 Payzant Dr., Windsor, NS B0N 2T0; Macduff Lifeboat Station, Bankhead, Macduff, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, AB44 1RD; RNLI Lifeboats at: rnli.org/support-us ; Friends of Tarlair Pool (restoration project) at: friendsoftarlair.co.uk; or a charity of one’s choice.

336 ALICE WYMAN LOVE 1927 - 2020 Our Mom passed peacefully in her home at Staywell Manor, Calgary, Alberta, on October 10, 2020, following a battle with cancer. Alice was born in Bromptonville, Quebec, the third of four children, and grew up in Hantsport, Nova Scotia. In 1948, she graduated from Acadia University with a Degree in Biology and worked as a researcher with Nova Scotia Fisheries and then as a high school science teacher. After marrying, she moved to Calgary in 1951, where she lived for the remainder of her life with a one year sabbatical in London, England where she bravely learned to drive on the "wrong side of the road." Mom went back to school in the 1980s and completed a medical secretary's certificate and then worked as an assistant in her daughter Nancy's busy family medical practice for many years. She was known for the special care and attention she gave to each patient. Nancy would often joke that patients came to the office to see Alice rather than the doctor. First and foremost, Alice was a dedicated and loving mother. She was the rock at home and took great pride in her four children and their accomplishments. She especially loved her role as a Grandma and grew very close to all six grandchildren, including those in Europe, as trips to Switzerland were an annual event for Mom. In later years she was blessed with five great-grandchildren who provided her with joy and delight. Mom instilled in the family the importance of family bonds which we all cherish and this gave her comfort in her final days. She was very active in the Samaritan Club of Calgary for several decades. She was always willing to lend a hand and help others. She enjoyed reading, playing bridge, sewing at Christmas time and knitting. Mom was known as a wonderful host and threw many beautiful dinner parties over the years. The words 'lovely', 'kind' and 'gracious' are often used to describe Alice. She had many close friends throughout her life and treasured those relationships. Mom was predeceased by her mother and father, Violet (Briggs) and Clifford Wyman of Toronto, Ontario; her husband, Richey Love of Calgary; two of her siblings, Cliff Wyman Jr. (and his wife Ruby) and Shirley Murray (and her husband Mac) both of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia; her sister-in-law, Rita Wyman of Calgary; her sister-in-law, Nancy Brown (née Love) of Lennoxville, Quebec; and her brother-in-law, Stewart Love of Knoxville, Tennessee. Wyman, Alice (I7698)
