Avis de décès de John Macfarlane


MACFARLANE, John 1943-2016 It is with profound sadness we announce that Hector John Godard Macfarlane, passed away peacefully with his wife Marni and friend Brenda by his side on Sunday, October 16, 2016 after a brave and hard fought battle with cancer. John leaves behind his wife, Marilyn (Marni); his brother Kent; and many close and dear friends. Born on April 24th, 1943 and raised in Vancouver, John began his career with the firm of Gardiners. In 1972 he became a chartered accountant and stayed on with Gardiners, who merged and finally became Deloitte where he stayed until retirement in 2005. John loved his career and did not let retirement stop him working for clients and friends well into 2016. John had many passions, he was very proud to be a member of the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club, he was an avid boater and joined RVYC in 1978, served on the RVYC executive and chaired the Vic-Maui race for 3 years. He also had a passion for sports cars. Porsche was the marque of his choice. John was a founding member of the Porsche Club of America - Canada West Region in 1975 and recently served as Vice President and Treasurer until his passing. When John wasn''t boating or attending Porsche events he loved to travel and to golf. He was also passionate about giving back to the community through the many charities he sponsored. John always had a positive outlook on life, he rewarded friendship with loyalty. We all found his enthusiasm infectious and his sharp wit and sense of humor finely honed. The Macfarlane family wishes to extend their special thanks to the following individuals; Brenda Kay, Betty Howie, Andrea Kleinschmidt and Carol Selig and especially Ray Gumbel for the continuous help through the difficult times. Also all the doctors and nurses at Lions Gate Hospital for their care and compassion. A Celebration of Life will be hosted at The Royal Vancouver Yacht Club (3811 Point Grey Rd. Vancouver, B.C.) on Sunday, November 13th from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a donation to the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation; www.lghfoundation.com. Dust off your Porsche (or other sports car), check the tire pressures and take it for a spirited drive! - John would have wanted that.
