The death of David Guy Long, 67, of Sackville occurred at the Sackville Memorial Hospital on Tuesday, March 17, 2015 after a lengthy illness. Born in Sackville, David was a son of Edith (Govang) and the Late Gerald Long.

David was a truck driver for Day & Ross for thirty years, having received an award in recognition of 3,000,000 accident free miles.  He was a member of the Princess Louise 8th Huzars in his youth.  When he had spare time he enjoyed taking his car, 'Nut-n Fancy' to the race track for drag races and attending tractor pulls and antique car shows.  He was an avid fisherman and was looking forward to heading to Labrador this Spring.

He will be dearly missed by his wife of 45 years, Margaret 'Peggy' (Allen);  two daughters, Christa (Paul) Gallant, Airdrie, AB and Susan (special friend Tony Belliveau) Long, Riverview; five grandchildren, Mariah and Zachary Blue, Jessalyn Gallant, Malcolm and Nicholas Grant; his mother, Edith Long, Sackville; sisters, Gail (Sid) Baker and Jane (special friend Maurice Theriault) Slipp and brothers Bill (Diane) and Robert (Claudette), all of Sackville; ex-sons-in-law, Scott Grant and Greg Blue; a special aunt, Evelyn Jonah, as well as many nieces and nephews.
