Pallbearers were Dan C. MacNeil, Hugh MacPherson, Cecil MacKay, John Gillis, Mike Novak and Bobby Linkletter. Mr. MacEachern was a son of William Joseph and Catherine (MacInnis) MacEachern of Livingstones Cove. He wasn’t married. Surviving are seven sisters and a brother: Florence (Mrs. Carol Schilling), Toronto; Ruth (Mrs. Earl Diggins), New Glasgow; Selma (Mrs David Burke), Halifax; Margaret (Mrs Angus MacEachern), Highland Drive, Antigonish; Rita (Mrs John Macdonald), Arisaig; Catherine (Mrs John Gillis), Georgeville; Elizabeth, Antigonish; and John Q., Livingstones Cove.

The donated kidney was the best match possible outside of a twin pairing and the operation was very successful.
