Mr MacKenzie was my science and design+tech teacher for grade 7 and 8. He was always so incredibly kind and patient. He was able to find that perfect balance between letting us have some independence but also being available when we needed him. He was attentive and funny and could fix any problems we encountered in our design+tech class... and there were always problems in that class. I don't know how Mr MacKenzie kept it together, honestly!
I remember one day in grade 8, a few of us were driving with him somewhere and the song "Tubthumping" by Chumbawamba came on. He was curious if we young teens would have any insight into this crazy song. Unfortunately we didn't, but it was a pretty funny conversation to have with your teacher!
He was a very special teacher and I'm grateful to have known him.
I can only imagine what a special husband, dad, and grandpa he was.
Sending you much love
