HAYES, Colin "Collie" – 76, Port Hawkesbury, formerly of Point Tupper. It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Colin "Collie" Hayes, on Tuesday, November 20, 2012, in Strait Richmond Hospital, Evanston. Collie was the last surviving member of his immediate family. Born in Point Tupper, was a son of the late Daniel and Alice (LeLacheur) Hayes. Collie’s greatest love was his two sons, Colin David and Michael and was so proud of his grandchildren, Nathan, Meghan, Ryan and little Jacob. He worked and retired from Stora after 25 years. Collie enjoyed step dancing that was so much a part of his heritage. One of his greatest past times was going to the card plays. When he was home you could find him watching his TV enjoying many sports or sitting next door visiting with special friends, Joseph and Jane. Collie is survived by his two sons, Colin David (Kelly), Port Hawkesbury; Michael (Lisa), Lower Sackville; grandchildren, Nathan, Meghan, Ryan and Jacob; many nieces and nephews, but special to his heart were, Colleen "Allie", Loretta and very special niece "little Alice" (Danny) MacIntosh; brothers-in-law, John McLeod, Clyde Malcolm, Jim King, John David and Reg Keefe; sisters-in-law, Helen, Geraldine, Brenda, Linda, Colleen and Carleen.
