COLIN (CLANCY) MCEACHERN

Condolences & Memories (7 entries)

• To Clancy's Family & Friends: I worked alongside Clancy for 9 years (1987 to 1996). Clancy was a real good Foreman for the West Hawk Lake Provincial Park! Also a friend! I will remember on Halloween, I would be welcomed at his home in Falcon Lake with refreshments as my youngsters filled their bags! I will remember the many happy hours spent with Clancy, Harry and others when the work day was done! Clancy will be remembered!

• I was deeply saddened by the news of Clancy's passing. He had a quiet gentle demeanour about him. I fondly remember his rides through the park. He respected his staff and I knew he looked out for us. On occasion I would work through break and he would make sure I was ok. We would have great conversations. Clancy as you said to me once in my birthday card.....and I say to you......" You were a cool breeze in hell". I loved having you as a foreman . It was a pleasure to come to work and see that grin. You will be sadly missed . - Posted by: Elvira McInnis (Ex-employee/friend) on: Aug 11, 2018

• As we were foremen together at West Hawk, I worked closely with Clancy for many years. Yes Clancy had a quiet way about him but he ran a good district. Under his leadership we were a close knit bunch. Everyone was expected to do their part and got treated fairly in return and with appreciation. One could not know Clancy and not see the naturally humorous side of him. The wit and humour fell out of him with ease. I have no doubt that had he been more outgoing. Comedian could have been a fruitful sideline for him!! Goodbye old friend, I will always remember the happier times (and getting the job done too of course!!) at the West Hawk Yard. To all who are mourning his loss, I express my condolences. - Posted by: Darrell Kinley (Co-worker/friend) on: Aug 09, 2018

• Paul and I are so sorry to hear and read of Colin's passing. I knew Colin and his family from the time we were both 4 or 5 years of age as my family lived a few doors down from his on St. Andrew's Road. I fondly admit that Colin was the first boy I ever kissed, as I cornered him in my yard (once again when we were 5 years of age), claiming I was going to marry him. Our friendship continued on different levels over our teen years, each of us finding new friends and interests but always attending the same schools right through to high school. It was then that our friendship picked up again as he and my now husband, Paul, became good buddies and although I did not marry Colin, he did attend our wedding in 1971, as one of Paul's ushers. Our friendship did continue during the next 10 years but when we moved to Calgary in 1981 our contact with Colin, slowly lessened. We did have the opportunity of meeting Esther and sharing in their wedding ceremony. Yes, Paul and I will always remember Colin as one of our quieter friends, often opting out of a party or get together to just be at home with his music, but also as a friend with a mischievous smile and great sense of humor that we always enjoyed and appreciated. At this time we extend our condolences to all those who knew and loved Colin (or Clancy to many). Peace be with you ole friend. - Posted by: Lorna and Paul Delorme (nee Wardell) (Neighbor and longtime friends) on: Aug 09, 2018

• We were saddened to hear of Clancy's passing...our condolences to his family and friends....he was a unique person to work for/with...and had a sense of humor like no one else.... I remember Clancy sending a small box of asphalt to Lenore (who worked in the office) after she had repeatedly joked with him about the pot holes on her block road...he will be missed in Falcon Lake... - Posted by: Dagan Haddad and Debbie Bradshaw (Ex employees and friends) on: Aug 09, 2018
