MACKENZIE, Dr. Robert Arthur (M.D. M.R.C.P.(U.K.), F.R.C.P.(C) –
Passed away peacefully at home surrounded by the love of his family on Wednesday, April 22, 2020 in his 84th year. Adoring husband to Roswitha. Loving father to Katherine (Manfred Kuschel), Anita (Dwight Caldwell), Helene (Allan Parker), Connie (Donald Youngblut), Tara (Chris Power). Loving Opi to Benjamin, Erich, Anna, Thomas, Isabelle, Gretta and Amalia.
He was a dedicated and caring physician in Internal Medicine and one of the first Nuclear Medicine physicians in the region. He had a lifelong love of medicine, music, and nature which he passed on to those around him.
In lieu of flowers a donation to Nature Conservancy of Canada or One Tree Planted would be a great tribute to him. A celebration of his life will be arranged at a later date.
The friend of man, the friend of truth;
The friend of age, the guide of youth:
Few hearts like his, with virtue warm’d,
Few heads with knowledge so inform’d:
