I knew Mac and Marg for a few years. I was blessed to have them as clients in travel and also friends as a result. They both held a dear place in my heart. A true pleasure to see when the visited, and always enjoyed a call now and then. Mac had a wonderful heart and love for Marg, and life in general. He was a true gentleman. You could always see how much they enjoyed just being together. Truly a couple meant to find each other and share so much enjoyment in their travels and everyday life. I will certainly miss Mac and all his fun loving humour . Marg, I can't even begin to express how sad I am about this news and offer my deepest condolences and love, thoughts and hugs to you during this difficult time.

Lisa and Todd, we are so sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. Mac and Marilyn were great neighbours. We loved growing up next door to you. Mom (especially) missed you all when you moved from Wingham. Sending our love and prayers.

Maggie
Thanks for introducing Kim and I to your most wonderful life partner Mac.
Mac was a gift from God (wrapped up especially for you Maggie) and given to you at the most right time in your life.
To be greeted by Mac's smile, his firm handshake, and listening to his many life stories and experiences was something we all enjoyed.
Always remember many of Mac's sayings and my favorite was his reference to his hometown of Wingham, Ontario which he called (The Flying Pig).
Each year, each month, each week, each day and each second you two spent together I know Maggie was filled with Love and Joy.
Loved (as everyone did ) to watch your interactions with one another, a squeeze of the hand, a smile for one another, a gaze across a crowded room into each others eyes. Simply put magical.
It was special. Mac was your Prince and Maggie you were his Cinderella.
Kim and I are so glad to call you and Mac our friends.
What a treasure Mac was to all of us.
Thanks again for sharing Mac with us, we loved him.

Mac was the most kind and sincere man we have ever met. We were so blessed to have had a bonus Dad and our children a bonus grandfather for 9 years. We all enjoyed every moment, chat and visit. His wisdom in business was amazing to consult with and unconditional love for us was something we never took for granted. His connection with our Courteney was so special as she adored her grandpa Mackie. Our hearts are broken yet so full thanks to his influence on our lives. He will never be forgotten. We love you Mom and know your love for each other helped us enjoy our time together and thank you for your unending love.❤️❤️

Mac was one of the most wonderful, intelligent, kind, generous, and loving man we had in our family. He will be deeply missed by everyone and we are thinking of everyone in this sad time and send our deepest condolences. I’m so glad my Auntie Margaret and Uncle Mac had the 9 beautiful years together with a marriage full of adventure, happiness, and deep love they had for one another. Mac will forever be cherished in our hearts and our memories of him will always be full of joy and happiness. Thinking of you everyday Auntie Margaret, Kym, Brooke, John, Emilie, Wesley, Renee, and Courtney, as well as other family members. Love you all, and thank you Mac for being a beautiful part of our family.
Much love,

Mac, since the day Margaret brought you into our lives we shared many good times and laughs. We believe that Margaret, you and Mac were meant for each other from the day you met.
You both loved each other so much and enjoyed the 9 years together.
You had many wonderful cruises together on your own and with friends.
We will miss you more than you will ever know.
Love Wendy and Bob.

Remembering a cherished friendship dating back to the beginning of the street association on Leacrest Street and continuing when we followed you and Margaret to Rosedale Village. We will miss the great discussions about politics ( we seemed to agree on which politicians we liked or disliked) and wine and we always enjoyed the tales you told about your sporting and business experiences. A true gentleman.
Rest in peace dear friend
