Paul, Cathy and family we are deeply sorry to hear of Hugh’s passing. He was a sweet man and always spoke whenever we saw him. I remember one day at the doctors office, I had mom there and Hugh was there. When the doctor called her in he called Dorothy, Hughie was so surprised and asked me if that was her name because he always thought she was just Dollie. Mom thought it was quite funny. May your memories help you in the days ahead. Our sincere condolences.

My Grandmother, Margaret Ashe was Guy McAvoy’s sister. She was from Herring Cove, and lived with our Family as far back as I remember. As kids, we remember ‘Uncle Guy’ coming from Sheet Harbour to visit his Sister… Hugh’s Aunt. The trip from Sheet Harbour to Halifax was not something you did on a regular basis back in those days.
I would see Hugh and Muriel when I worked at Sobeys stores in the late 70’s and early 80’s. Muriel would introduce herself, as I guess I looked like my Mom and Dad.
Hugh looks so much like his father… and if he was as good to his family, as his father was to his sister… then he was a Great Man.
I pass on condolences from my Sisters Margaret Malcolm and Catherine Myers.

Paul and family , I am very sorry to hear about your Dad’s passing . My father was your fathers first cousin. Their fathers (Charlie and Guy were brothers. I met Arthur(Bud) many times over years as he lived in Halifax..Occasionally he and Grace would drop out to the Cove for a visit. The McAvoy clan is getting much smaller as years ago their was 6 families in Herring Cove and now there are 2.
Your father lived a long and productive life.
May he rest in peace!!

Dear Paul
Sorry about your Dad. I have many memories of you Dad, Mom and you from the time I spent next door visiting my aunt and uncle. That was the highlight of my summer- spending a week or more with Aunt Marian and Uncle Gerald. I loved the harbour , the water and the people. I won't be able to attend the funeral but my thoughts will be with you.
