Mary and family -

So sorry to hear of the loss of Angus. He was an amazing man and I always remember him smiling. He was an honest, hardworking man and will be missed.

I am very pleased to have been a friend of Angus. We only knew each other for less than a year. I reached out to him on the advice of my pulmonary fibrosis doctor at Yale New Haven Hospital. He responded with great warmth and practical advice about the lung transplant procedure that he had successfully completed at Duke. I am grateful to have known such an outstanding person.

I look forward to seeing Uncle Jerry in the next life. Memories of him are always happy ones. One thing that I took with me was that Uncle Jerry always took time away from visiting with the adults to play with the kids.

Angus was a friend and co Board member and President of Greenspring Board for many years, he was bigger than life, he always opted to resolve conflict, kept the peace and good life in our community. We will miss him. 
I hope his passing to a better life will also help us heal any wounds we have at this time.

Our deepest sympathy to Mary and the family. We are so sorry to hear of Angus's passing. He, a lover of music, champion of Chickering pianos, and generous supporter of those of us dedicated to its research, will be missed.

Dear Mary and family,

I was saddened to hear of Angus' recent passing. He was an absolute gentlemen who was one of my early land planning mentors. He was bright, practical and highly respected by all of my development peers, and I hope you all take great pride that the imprint of his life's work will shine for many generations to come. 

With Sympathy, Mario DiLoreto

What a wonderful man! So sorry to hear of your loss. I have fond memories of lovely dinners at your home with Angus as the most charming host. Hope you are well , my condolences and heartfelt sympathy to you and the family. Fondly, Janet

I once read the following quote which seems very appropriate today.. 
" Do not mourn the absence of the flame, rather celebrate how brightly it burned." 
Today's celebration of the bright flame that was Angus was a touching, warm tribute to a wonderful man!

Collected moments are what make for an extraordinary life. Although I didn't get a chance to really get to know Angus, from the few times I saw your father/grandfather/husband I remember the smile that emanated from every part of his face. Light from a face that clearly had experienced many great moments. I know you will all miss him terribly and my heart goes out to every one of you. Bowing my head toward you, I wish you light and ease as this day and the days ahead unfold. Namaste, Peace and Love.

Thank you Angus for always being so kind to my children and us. You will be dearly missed. Mary, Nicole, Rob and everyone touched by Angus know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Losing a loved one is so difficult. Adjusting to a new reality takes time. May God hold you tightly during these moments. I send you all my love. Hang in there and may you find peace during this holiday season.

To know Angus was to love him!

with prayers and caring at this difficult time,

Grace & Dan Sullivan

R.I.P Angus. Our sincere condolences to your family. 

With heartfelt regards,

Andy and Mindy Childs

I have always thought of Uncle Jerry as bigger than life, and I guess he was. My first memory of him is when mom & dad and I visited him and Aunt Bobbie in Fort Wayne, that must have been around 1958. We visited a lot and I remember so many small details of each visit that it's amazing. I think that's a sign of how special those visits were. You'll be missed a lot Uncle Jerry, but we will see you again!

Mary and your family. I am truly sorry for your loss. I have also lost my best old friend. I will always remember his smile and his laughter.

With a sad heart I learned today of the passing of Angus. It was my good fortune to work with Angus during much of his professional life in Old Saybrook and more recently to share much of his experience with a transplanted lung . And, of course, his marriages: first with Barbara and then later when she passed, he found and married Mary. He likewise was blessed to to share an upbeat and full life with Mary.

Angus to those of us who worked with him, knew him to be creative, responsive, knowledgeable, fun and a great team member.

More than all of this Angus has been my really good friend since the early 1960's. I will miss him terribly and wish him the best in his after life. My love to Mary and his big family. To his lung brother all the best in the days ahead. 

Warm Regards-Curt Sykora

Angus inspired people around him with his love of life, family, and friends. His spirit of giving back to others has helped make the world a better place. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to Mary and all his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. We will cherish memories of our fun times.

My sympathies on the loss of Angus. A gentleman, surveyor and sailor...what more is there? Rest easy now.

One of the nicest men I have ever met. My sincere condolences to Mary and his family. Angus was one of a kind and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Angus was a pillar of strength. He was such a 'man's man, not afraid to tell it like is was. As a result, he would not put with any nonsense. I admired this about him and therefore regret terribly that he is no longer with us.

Heaven is a brighter place with the additional of a new angel, Angus. Our sincere condolences to MARY and his family.. He touched so many lives in a positive way and lived life to the fullest. Through a shared lung transplant, we became brothers and it was a great pleasure to have had the opportunity to get to know him and his lovely wife, Mary.x

May the many learning's of Angus to everyone he touched be a lasting memory to his credit as a loving and caring person. He loved all in life and lived it to the fullest. My thoughts and prayers go out to the McDonald and Suisman families.

Our whole family loved Angus, who we have known for many years. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his whole family. He will be greatly missed. I will miss his constant comments about my hair!

Mary, I don't know what to say other than he will be missed by all of us. What a wonderful human being.

As a Charter Member of CALS, Angus set a path for all surveyors to follow. Thank you for making the world a better place.

My deepest condolences to you Mary and the entire family. Thankfully I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Angus for all these years at Greenspring. He always found humor in everything he did, even when the tasks were far from humorous. Indeed a great and proud family man, who will be missed but not forgotten.  

Sincerely, 

Michael, Jacqui and Stephanie Schein

We have lost a truly good man. 
The world was more for his being here and less with his passing

Angus will be deeply missed. He was a man with such a love of life with the upmost integrity in everything he did. He made everyone around him feel important and brough tremendous joy to everyone he touched. I consider myself very fortunate to have known Angus and will always remember his friendship, guidance and mentoring. 

Sincerely, 

Michael Adler

Dearest Mary....my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as I will always remember Angus as a dear friend

I never think of Angus without thinking of Mary. They were a fantastic team. Anthony
& I had much more fun in our lives when
we were with the two of them. In addition to
making me laugh, I have always had the greatest
of admiration for his volunteerism and his
willingness to help others. I miss you already,
Captain Danger.

Angus was the special friend in my life. You were comfortable in any circumstance. Angus, Mary Margie and I shared many happy times and travels together. Hewill be sorely missed

You were a lighthouse in my storm and battle with IPF. With your guidance and support I was able to reach a safe harbor. I enjoyed our trips and conversations with you to the Yale IPF support groups where you shared your insight and wisdom with the new IPF Warriors. 

"The Breakfast Club" you started will always have a chair for you at our table in your honor! 

 Rest in Peace my friend!

After the tears have dried and the goodbyes have been said, all we have to hold onto are the happy memories that we've shared with our loved ones who have passed, this is what keeps them alive in our hearts and in our minds, and they will continue to live on, through us.

My condolences to all the family. I can't make it to the memorial service, but my thoughts will be with you on that day. 

I remember fondly the summer I spend with Jerry, Barb, Angus, Kim and Rob. I was 16 and put to work with the surveying crew out in the field. I seem to recall being woken up every morning to the sound of recorded bagpipe music. Maybe it wasn't every morning, but even one is more than enough. :)  

Another memorable moment during that visit was my discovery of antique bottles out in the woods. At the end of the summer, I took my Mom to the site and she got hooked on going out digging for and collecting bottles. I have much of that collection now, and when I see it, I'm reminded of that summer with Jerry and family. 

We all have many fond memories of our time with Jerry. He was a great man and will be missed.

Mary, Angus & family, our deepest sympathy 
in the loss of an friend and business acquaintance. He was a person that left his mark and will not be forgotten.

So sorry to hear of Uncle Jerry's passing. What a wonderful man and father he was to you all. I will fondly remember his easy smile and love of the ski slopes. May you find comfort in the memories that you shared. 
Marlene
