PERCIVAL (PERCY) FREDERICK MACKLEM Percival (Percy) Frederick Macklem passed away suddenly Sunday, September 9, 2001 on a sunny afternoon in Tsawwassen. Dad will be lovingly missed by his best friend and wife of 60 years, Evelyn, who always spoiled him with love, attention, and great cooking.

Also grandchildren, Jenny, Jocelyn (Travis), David, Raymond Michael, Danielle and Christopher and Chris and Jeff. Also survived by brother Ken (Fort Nelson), and many nieces and nephews.
