Malcolm and his family came to the Bonny River area 25 years ago to work at Mt. Pleasant Mines until its closure. Malcolm was employed as a miner most of his working life at various mines throughout Eastern and Northern Canada. He loved being outside and was an avid outdoorsman. He loved fishing and feeding deer. The love and kindness that Malcolm shared with his family, as well as his friends and the children he befriended over the years was very important to him. The family would like to send a special thank you to the Doctors, nurses and staff of the MICU and 4CN at the Saint John Regional Hospital for their amazing care and compassion.

By request there will be no visitation. A service will be held on June 3rd, 2008 at 2:00 from the Calvin Presbyterian Kirk at Loch Lomond NS.
