The Passing of a Member
CaptMac, (Sandy MacKenzie) who had been a member here since 2008 passed away quite suddenly on the evening of 26th October. His widow is also a member here, VMac3205, and I had been holding off posting here to see if she would make a post but I guess she may be too upset at the moment. The service for Sandy will be held at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, 14903 SE McGillivray, Vancouver, Washington, USA on Saturday November 5th at 1100. I was privileged to meet Sandy and his wife when they visited Scotland in 2010 and again in 2015. RIP Sandy.

Thank you for that Alex and indeed that is sad news. I had the pleasure of meeting them both when they were over here some years ago now. The world is much the worse for such a charming character to be lost. My thoughts are with VMac and the family at this grim time.

The comments offered, make every one of you more important to me. I did not meet this particular man but feel I got to know him as well as some of you (my friends) through XMarks. All are dear and any that pass will be missed greatly.

I had the opportunity to attend Sandy's Funeral on Saturday. It was a very comforting service. The Priest talked of Sandy's support and inspiration and how he was led by Sandy to travel to Scotland and research his own Scottish roots. One of Sandy's friends gave the eulogy including some poetry that Sandy loved. In The eulogy he remarked on Sandy's maritime experience in both the Navy and Merchant Marine, which was certainly born out by the number of men in uniform. There were, of course, also quite a few men in kilts. There was a moving musical prelude with a harp and two fiddles and an excellent piper for a postlude. Following the service there was a reception that looked fabulous but unfortunately I had to return to work and couldn't attend. I wish I had been able to share my condolences personally with Victoria but she was understandably surrounded by family and friends.

A man I never met, but who is a brother in Christ and kilts.
May God bless his widow and family. They are in our prayers.
