Malcolm Macaulay Herdson

Dad passed away with family at his side, his best friend Art and Rev Maureen Anderson of Agassiz United Church after a lengthy battle with a number of health issues. He is survived by his loving wife of 53 memorable years, Virginia (Gini), daughter Susan (Andy), son Callum (Tracy), grandsons Ryan (Erin) and Dustin (Lisa) Harris and extended family all over the world. Malcolm was an active member of the Legion (beer and crib) Friendship House (coffee and curling) Agassiz United Church (redemption). My dad loved to fix stuff, “work” on his computer, visit with his many friends, family and especially loved Holland America. Dad had a life long love affair with Mars Bars (not good for the diabetes) Montreal Smoked Meat (not good on the cholesterol scale) Swiss Chalet (he would drink the dipping sauce) Road & Track Magazine (occasionally drove like he was Mario Andretti) N.C.I.S (drove mom nuts) and Music (blow it out your bagpipes) Dad was a master BBQ’r (provided you didn’t mind ½ a cow grilling, that was his idea of a great steak), family water fight instigator, and the best Mr. Fix-it EVER. We will miss his quirky sense of humour and his wonderful hugs. We would especially like to thank Blaine at C.G.H. for his above and beyond compassionate care giving of Dad and all of us in his final days

Dad was proud to serve his community as a municipal councilor and loved to make people laugh, he was so much fun, we’re all going to miss him! Love Susan (the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree)

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Dad’s name to the BC Children’s Hospital. A Celebration of Dad’s life will be on Friday, May 2nd at 3:00pm at Agassiz United Church, 6860 Hwy 7 Agassiz, BC. If you have a funny story about Dad, please be prepared to share it with all of us.
