PATRICK GEORGE MACKLEY, P. ENG. January 26, 1939 - March 20, 2011 A Loyal Employee and True Friend Employed by Hi Tech Installations Ltd August 2004 - January 2009 It is with heavy hearts that Hi Tech Installations Ltd. sadly announces the passing of Patrick G. Mackley (Our Past General Manager and True Friend) at St. Boniface Hospital on Sunday, March 20, 2011 while recuperating from a long illness. Left to mourn Patrick's memory is his loving wife Susan; children, Neil (Cathy), Alison (Gaby), Claire; brother Michael (Dorothy); his beloved dogs as well as his extended Business Family whom will miss him dearly. Patrick, at the bright age of 65 years young, was not quite ready for retirement so he accepted the position of General Manager at Hi Tech Installations Ltd. Patrick joined us with all his experience of our Industry and brilliant business sense which was a great asset. Patrick was a person with so much wisdom beyond Engineering, Drafting and Designing, Project Managing, Parts, Installations, Projects Large and Small, Sales, Customer Service and People Skills; he was a true Gentleman which is a rare find in any lifetime of business. Patrick's problem solving skills was another strong asset that he brought to our business as he worked with customers, suppliers and employees and could always come up with a great solution to any situation anyone threw his way. In all the years that Patrick was employed with Hi Tech Installations not a day would go by without him being called upon for his wisdom or knowledge. Patrick, with his creative drafting and designing talents, was an instrumental part in changing much of the Agricultural / Architectural Landscape in Western Canada. Patrick would take a customer's ideas and visions and turn them into a reality and beyond. Patrick was also closely involved in many milestones of our Business. When our business moved to St. Andrews in 2005 he played a large role with all matters relating to the move and startup of the new, larger business location (he loved that challenge). Patrick was employed with us from August 2004 until his health issues dictated his semi-retirement in January 2009 at which time he wanted to slow down and spend quality time with his family and his beloved dogs. Hi Tech Installations Ltd. (Pat's Business Family) would like to thank the Mackley family for including us in the private family service that was held for Patrick earlier this week, Patrick was not only an employee but also a True Close Friend that will be truly missed by all of us, Management and Staff of Hi Tech Installations Ltd./Doyle Manufacturing/Ranco Fertiservices and many more customers and suppliers. The family requests, in lieu of flowers, donation in Patrick's memory may be made to the Kidney Foundation, Unit 1-452 Dovercourt Drive, Winnipeg, MB R3Y 1G4.
