Connor Township — Kevin A Pirie, 54, has fallen asleep with the Lord on April 27, 2011, surrounded by his loving family and in the comfort of his home. He was born in Perth, New Brunswick, Canada August 9, 1956, the son of the late Alton and Arline (Watson) Pirie. Kevin was a graduate of Southern Victoria County High School and attended the University of Southern Maine. His vibrant spirit touched all who were fortunate enough to have known him. Kevin always worked hard, always loved his family, and enjoyed his friends. He was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed his adventures thoroughly. Kevin was an active member of the Connor community where he was a member of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church and was very involved with the Connor Recreation Department. He wore many hats throughout his life — he taught forestry, drove school buses, and worked his carpentry with great pride — especially his General Contracting business, K. Pirie and Sons. He was a devoted and loving husband, a caring father, and a great friend. He was a Little League umpire for a number of years and was a member of the Knights of Columbus.
