LLOYD MACKLIN After a wonderful eighty-nine years - sixty-two of which he spent with his dear wife, Ena - Lloyd passed away. He will be missed by his son, Ted and his family; Jean, Laura and Spencer and daughter, Lesley and her family; Ron, Scott, Dale and Claire. Lloyd was born to Wilbert and May of Gilbert Plains, Manitoba and grew up through the thirties with Laurence, Marjorie, Edith and Jim. In 1942, at the age of eighteen, Lloyd joined the Royal Canadian Navy and was assigned as a wireless operator on HMCS Fundy, a minesweeper in the North Atlantic. He would tell stories of learning Morse code, knitting and drinking rum. In 1951, he went on to become a ticket auditor for Air Canada and continued with them for thirty-five years. Dad was forever changed by the loss of his youngest son, Trevor, in 1981, which left a hole in the hearts of his whole family and those around him. Dad's love of music transcended throughout his life and to his future generations. He was ever involved in bands and choirs. He played trumpet in the Gilbert Plains Boy's band, the Royal Winnipeg Rifles Marching Band, and the Blue Bomberette Marching Band through which he travelled by rail to numerous Grey Cups. Lloyd sang in many choirs including the Home Street United Church Choir, Charleswood United Church Choir, Philharmonic Choir, and the Winnipeg Male Chorus. He will be so missed by his family and friends. Deep gratitude goes to the wonderful nurses of 5N at the Grace Hospital for their care. Memorial service will be held at Charleswood United Church, 4280 Roblin Blvd. on Thursday, October 17 at 10:00 a.m. with Rev. Dr. Michael Wilson officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Children's Hospital Foundation. For those who wish to sign the online Guest Book please visit our website. www.chapellawn.ca 885-9715

To the Family of Lloyd Macklin.. We have never met and I never really knew Lloyd...I do want to send my condolences to you All.. I am Lloyd's cousin through his Aunt Edith Macklin. My Mother was very fond of Lloyd and believe she looked after Lloyd and his siblings when they were very young. Please contact me if you care to. I have been doing a lot of genealogy on the Macklin family. Sincerely Marlene - Posted by: Marlene (Hammell) Wagner (Cousin) on: Jan 06, 2014

My siblings (Clifford, Elaine and Barry) and I went to the same Sunday school as the Macklin children, I remember Ted from the Charleswood 53rd Scout Troop. He and my brother Barry were friends as well. I remember Mr Macklin singing in the musical put on by the church choir, my Dad Cliff was in the choir with him. Such memories! Rest in Peace, Mr. Macklin. - Posted by: Ken Kowalsky (Friend from Charleswood United Church) on: Nov 12, 2013
