71, Ben Eoin
It is with heavy hearts and sadness we announce the passing of Reginald ‘ Rege’ Aubrey McIntosh, Nov. 21, 1940-Nov. 18, 2012, in the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney, with his family and relatives by his side.
Born in Glace Bay, Rege was the son of the late John McIntosh and Rita (Stephens) McIntosh. In his earlier days, Rege was an employee with the Bank of Commerce, regional housing and Avco Finance. He spent the last five years working security in Membertou, enjoying his time there.
Rege’s family, children and grandchild were his life. He enjoyed spending time on his Sea Doo in Ben Eoin and could always be found working on his crossword puzzles. He coached minor league hockey and spent considerable time working on his home in Ben Eoin. He enjoyed his evenings in the basement watching the news with his dog, Sandy.
Rege will be remembered by family and friends as a person who was willing to help and having a great sense of humour.
Rege will be sadly missed by his wife, Shirley (Morrison); daughter, Robyn (Robby) Whittier; son, Dean (Veronica) Martinez; and grandchild, Conrad Whittier. He is also survived by sisters, Carol (Louis) Cote, Oakville, Ont., Claire (Robert) Hickox, Riverview, N.B., Anne (Allan) MacPhee, Glace Bay, N.S., and Suzanne (Michel) Dallaire, Trois Riviere, Que.
