There were many weekend parties in their garage and yard at the farm, with campers everywhere. Many musicians, great friends, and lots of music which Bob really enjoyed.

Bob and Carol retired and moved to Medicine Hat in December 2019, and moved into a condo in Park Meadows Village.

Bob’s family would like to thank the staff in ICU at the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital, especially the nurses and Dr. Slaba.

KENNETH MACLEOD

 

1948 ~ 2022

 

With great sadness, the family of Kenneth MacLeod announce that he passed away in Medicine Hat on Sunday, February 20, 2022, at the age of 73 years. Left to cherish his memory are his two children, Steven and Michelle; grandchildren, Gage, CJ, Connor and Sara as well as great-grandchildren, Anastasia, Hunter and Violet. Along with his beloved wife Julie, Ken was predeceased by his parents, Donald and Marjorie, as well as three siblings, Malcolm, Michael and Alison. Ken worked as a Millwright Machinist in Medicine Hat prior to his retirement. He and Julie also had a farm in the Whitla area and were active members in the community. Anyone who knew Ken, knew that in addition to his great sense of humour, he was the type of person that would give the shirt off his back to a complete stranger and help anyone in need. In lieu of flowers or donations, the family asks that you honour Ken’s legacy by going out and doing something for a complete stranger. Something unexpected, any kind of good deed, in his name. This is how he lived his life, and there would be no better legacy or way to honour and remember him than that. A Private Celebration honouring Ken’s life with interment following at Hillside Cemetery will take place in the near future.
