He was a long time resident of Ashby, but also very proud of his Newfoundland roots. He especially enjoyed the music, and felt a true connection with anyone he met from there. For 42 years Harry worked for Ben’s Bakery delivering bread throughout Cape Breton Island. By all accounts he loved his job, and the many people he met along the way. He had a great work ethic and in his opinion, taking a sick day was never an option.For a significant part of his life, Harry along with his late wife, Donna (Fraser), enjoyed socializing, playing cards and staying at the bungalow in Mira. He was a long time executive member of the Elks Club on Bentict street where he worked as a bartender before eventually rising to the position of ”exalted ruler”. For several years he helped coach the Bantam Elks Hockey Teams and spoke fondly of his years as trainer under John Dicker MacDonald and (the late) Adrian Morrison. In the 1960’s Harry’s weekends were mostly spent at the Old Sydney raceway where he, Whylie Mulvihill and Buckie Sives, teamed up to make car number 45 one of the more competitive of that era. After he retired Harry continued his interest in stock cars by sponsoring car # 27 and offering expertise to his good friend and neighbor Gary MacDonald and his son Vance. Our father was an avid outdoorsman who relished any and all conversation relating to fishing and hunting. Harry had many good friends in Bateston and each fall meant a return to St Peters where he and his brother Gerry would hunt by day and drink by night.

Born in Sydney Mines on September 15, 1916, he was the son of the late William Alexander “Long Willie” and Emma (Crowther) McKeigan. Bill enlisted with the Cape Breton Highlanders in 1937. Along with his brother Johnny, Uncle Albert and many of his friends he was assigned to Company “C” and they trained locally. As a member of the reserves he was immediately called upon when war broke out in 1939. He spent the first years of the war guarding local strategic installations and maintaining a coastal watch. In November 1941 he was sent overseas where the Highlanders were merged into the 5th Armoured Division. Bill was deployed to Sicily and subsequently served in Italy, France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. As a driver with the 5th Armoured, Bill regularly transported supplies to the front lines. These loads often consisted of petrol which made him a choice target for the enemy. On one occasion he and a friend were spared when an armour-piercing round hit the pavement between them and ricocheted away without detonating. Bill was a lifetime member and Honorary President of Branch #19 Armstrong Memorial Royal Canadian Legion, North Sydney.

They and the other army of supporters are left with memories of friendship, laughter, faith and strength. Also, the inspiration he found in the love that he shared with his wife Lylie for their twin granddaughters, Emma Rose and Ella Raye was cherished because in those moments the pain of his illness seemed to vanish and was replaced by so much joy.

Last vote I can see is 3076 for today at 10:49 Ottawa time. My friend voted at approximately 8:00 a.m. and it was up to 3099. Would someone kindly give an update. I'm thinking the number stays the same on your computer after you vote!

Ottawa time it is 3040 votes. I am anxious to vote and can't because I have to know when I registered and voted. 14 days to go. One competitor has almost reached it funding goal and is at 9,000. Can CBGHA do it? YES WE CAN. GO CBGHA GO.
