Steele, Dougald Allan, 68, of
Lower South River and formerly of Lochaber, passed away on Sept 20,
2014 at home.
Born in Glace Bay NS, he was a
son of Marie (Voyez) Steele and the late Allan Steele.
Dougald worked for many years at MacKenzie Sales Ltd.
of Halifax before moving to Lochaber, where he worked as a truck
driver for Bluewave Energy for a number of years. He was a volunteer
firefighter and retired chief of Lake Echo Volunteer Fire Department.

friends, enjoying music, fun and laughter. He had a soft spot for old
cars and spent many happy hours restoring his 1948 Pontiac Silver
Streak, which he brought home in the back of a dump truck. When he
wasn't tinkering he liked to watch old TV shows, especially westerns
and Jackie Gleason's Honeymooners. TO THE MOON, ALICE!
