KEITH,
Alan
Mackenzie "
MAC"
After spending a wonderful month with family at his heart's home,
the island on Lake Nipissing, Mac died peacefully on August 19,
2007 at Markham-Stouffville Hospital at 90 years of age. Predeceased
by his beloved wives Laura
(BOYD) and Joan
(SANDIFORD,) he is
survived by his sister Mary
(MacKENZIE.)
Father to Alan, Peter,
Anne, Jonathon, step-father to Geoff and Jeanne, grandfather
to Laura, Duncan, Colleen, Danica, Kristin, Joel, David, Matthew,
Jennifer, Graham, Phil and Emily, and great-grandfather of eight.
MAC was born in Toronto to George Alan
KEITH and Lydia
(AIKENHEAD.)
Early ventures into gymnastics resulted in the Canadian championships
(1941). Mac built three of his own homes, one in Etobicoke and
one in Peterborough; the first and best loved was a project started
in his teen years, his log cabin on the family island at "Nip".
He was a teacher at various high schools in Toronto, co-founder
with Joan of the Osteoporosis Society of Peterborough, an avid
builder and problem solver, and he pursued a long-time passion
for the environment, solar power and global awareness. Mac's
focus on family was seen in the pride with which he always spoke
of his children's and grandchildren's achievements. He will be
remembered by all who knew him as feisty, witty, and determined,
his life a quest for true understanding of and service to the
world around him. Cremation will be followed by a memorial service
to be held at 3: 00 p.m. September 15, Parkview Village 12184 9th Line
Stouffville. In lieu of flowers, donations to the David Suzuki
Foundation would be appreciated.
