Hector Allan MacKenzie

On behalf of Jean, Cathy, and myself I offer our deepest sympathies on your loss. We didn't really get acquainted with your dad when we were children. The "adults" did all the socialising. It wasn't until our father's passing that Hank and I really started to talk to each other adult-to-adult. Hank was a charming, funny man, concerned and kind about everyone. He always remembered our branch of the family. We had many phone conversations filled with happy anecdotes, and he always enjoyed the jokes I sent him by email. We hope that happy memories will sustain your family in the years ahead.

To Hector's family.....what a lovely man he was. I had the pleasure of speaking with him many, many times over the years when he was in Walkerton, and occasionally when he was in London. It always makes me smile when I think of him as he was always positive and joking! I remember him coming over to Hanover with the 'ladies' to do shopping, banking and of course going to Harvey's. A wonderful man I'm so happy I had the privilege to know. He's now with his Mary....and he will be so happy to be with her. My deepest condolences.

We were very sorry to hear of Hank's passing. He was a wonderful man. We enjoyed many a chat with him when we ran into him at the grocery store and at Maple Court. He will be missed. Unfortunately the weather and closed roads kept us from attending his service today. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

To all of Hector's family we extend our sympathies and offer our prayers. Hector was a wonderful angel who spread joy and life everywhere he went. A gentleman through and through, he will be deeply missed by all who met him.

Our sympathy to the MacKenzie family. We remember the good times as neighbors, partying and helping each other with projects. We were here when Mary, Hank and Linda moved to Second Street. While we haven't been in contact since he moved to London we still thought of him.

To all of Hector's family, we would like to send our deepest sympathy. Hector was like a father to me. We use to joke around that he was my adopted father and I was his adopted daughter. We did so many things together and lots of travelling. Hector loved to visit Port Elgin and watch the boats come in. I will miss Hector very much and it saddens me that I never got to say goodbye. I will miss our wonderful talks on the phone that would last at least an hour. He always had lots of good advice and he loved to joke around. We enjoyed having Hector at our home and he always enjoyed our meals. He spoke of each and everyone of you and he was very proud to be a great grandfather and that the MacKenzie name would live on. Hector remember your promise to me and I will look for that flash in the sky, lol. Please say hi to my Mom & Dad in Heaven for me. I will miss you Hector. Love Kim, Steve & Brandon Coghlin

Linda, Laurie, Bonnie & Gifford, & families, Declan & I always enjoyed the company of your father. He sure was in fantastic shape for a man in his 90's. Hank often talked about Mary to us. I think he tried hard to make the most out of his life without her. I am sorry we won't have the opportunity to chat again. So sorry for your loss. Your Dad will be missed by many. Sincerely, Marni & Declan

Linda and family, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. I hope that joyful memories carry you through. Take care, Kristen Huitema

Hector will be greatly missed. He was a kind gentle man. A little story. Hector and I lived at Maple Court Villa at the same time. One evening I went down to the chapel (where the TV was) to play Wii. Hector was just putting the movie Note Book on to watch. Since I hadn't seen the movie and he was alone, I decided to stay and watch it. Towards the end, the tears were starting to flow down my face. Of course, I didn't have a Kleenex. I looked over at Hector and the tears were flowing too. He shrugged his shoulders as if to say, he didn't have a Kleenex either. We had many laughs over that. He was missed when he left Maplre Court, but not forgotten. He will be in my prayers.

Dear Linda and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your entire family. Hugs Keely

Dear LInda, I am very sorry you have lost both of your parents now. No matter how old we get, we still want and need our mom & dad. Our children thrive from the influence, love and care they receive from their grandparents and that is one of the many thngs we miss most of all when our parents leave us. We can be happy in the thought that they are now in God's Glorious Kingdom and can watch over us and protect us and the children, if only we will ask them. God Bless You and Yours and help you through the trials of the next few weeks. (colleague)

Dear Linda and family, My thoughts and prayers are with you. May beautiful memories of your beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather comfort you in the days ahead. With sincerest condolences, Leah Pisano (colleague of Linda)

I am a co-worker of Linda and I am so sorry to hear of Hector's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

I was a student worker at Maple Court Villa, the retirement home in Walkerton that Hector lived in for a few years. It was a pleasure to have known Hector for the short time that I did and I will never forget his happy smile and encouraging manner. He was very "with it" even at his older age and anyone who met Hector was a friend of Hector. He will most definitely be sorely missed.

My deepest sympathy to Hector's family. He was a great man, who was very kind to my Mom, Vera Baetz, when they resided at Maple Court Villa in Walkerton.

I'm saddened to hear of Hectors passing. Although I've not spoken to him in months, our conversations were always pleasant. I was fortunate to care for Hector years ago when I was with Maple Court Villa. My thoughts are with his family at this sad time. Sincerely, Laura Sabourin (Stefura)

To the family of Hector , we offer our sincere condolences. 'Hank' was a long time friend of Bills when they worked together at Douglas Point, Ontario Hydro and later a friend of both of us after retirement. We have enjoyed Hector's company on different occasions after he lost Mary. We know you will miss your father and grandfather.
