NORTH CREEK | Angus Dan McLean, 90, of North Creek, N.Y., passed away at his home on Dec. 27, 2025, with his loving family by his side. Angus was born May 13, 1935, to the late Sydney and Melina (West) McLean in Johnson, Vt. The family later moved to Tahawus, where Angus excelled at basketball at Newcomb Central School, graduating in 1953. Angus enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1955 and served aboard the U.S.S. Franklin D. Roosevelt CVA-42 as a gunners mate. While aboard, he crossed the equator twice, earning the title of Shellback. Angus worked as a lumber inspector in local mills, braving the elements daily with never a complaint. In June 1958 Angus married his wife of 67 years, Margaret (Leddick) McLean. Angus loved hiking, canoeing, and camping, whether in a tent, VW pop up, or his motorhome. He was an active volunteer in the Boy Scouts with his three sons. He enjoyed reading, gardening and daily journaling. He was a communicant of the former St. James Church in North Creek. He will be remembered for his physical and mental toughness, strong work ethic, sense of humor, and superior bug-killing expertise. He is predeceased by his parents and brother Klan McLean, sister-in-law Hazel, and brother-in-law Jack Durkin. He is survived by his wife, Margaret; his children, Angus Dan (Mary), Steven, Margo, Lachlan (Sharon), and Mary (Michael); seven grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; his sister, Sydna Durkin; and brother, Dale McLean (Marsha); and several nieces, nephews and cousins. In Dad's words, "Hope for the best, expect the worst, and you'll never be disappointed." A Mass was held on Friday, Jan. 2, 2026, at St. Cecilia's Catholic Church.
