MARK CAMPBELL COMRIE RUTHERFORD September 13, 1950 - December 31, 2010 Musician, husband, father, brother, son, grandfather and friend. Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Mark always referred to himself as a Winnipegger. Leaving Winnipeg to further his career as a musician in Toronto, Mark moved to Innisfil, Ontario where he raised his family for over 25 years. Six years ago, Mark and family relocated to Phelpston, Ontario where he skied the trails he established on his farm with his loyal canine companion Freddie. Mark's love of the outdoors, skiing, cycling, running and general exuberance for life was curtailed by Myeloid Dysplastic Syndrome which progressed into Acute Myeloid Leukemia taking him from us New Year's Eve. Mark leaves behind his wife Heather, daughters Willow Rutherford and Cassandra Rutherford-Epp (Bryn), grandchildren Peter and Dinah, brothers Ed, Gerry, Tom, Bruce, (predeceased by brother Peter), mother Willow Rutherford of Nanaimo, BC, father Ed Rutherford of Pto. Escondido, Mexico... and half brother to David, Jose and Daniella of Mexico. A special thank you to all who have helped Mark on his journey, especially the staff on 15B Princess Margaret Hospital. A celebration of his life will take place at the Elmvale and District Lions Hall, 1979 Flos 7 West, Elmvale, Ontario from noon until 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, January 22, 2011. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, a donation to the Princess Margaret Hospital would be appreciated.
