Nobituary

Malcolm (Mac) Haynes of Fredericton, New Brunswick awoke suddenly on Saturday morning March 27, 2010 feeling well after a prolonged period of rest. Born in Fredericton on August 2 1952 to Perley and Margaret Haynes, Mac graduated from Fredericton High School and went on to receive his Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology in 1976 from the University of New Brunswick.

This qualified him for a career in sales which took him virtually from coast to coast and included a diversity of products ranging from Doodle Art to twine to Omega3 Flax cookies. Always looking for a new challenge he then sought training in the information technology field which in turn led him to the fascinating world of digital imaging where he is presently and happily employed.

A tireless worker, Mac fills his weekend hours delivering hot food to shut-ins as a Meals on Wheels volunteer and can be found greeting worshippers and passing the collection plate at church several times a year.

The nonceased continues to co-survive with his lovely and patient wife Julie - his two fine sons John and Cameron, beloved sisters Jacqui, Judy, Sandra and brother Bob; their partners, spouses and offspring. Never an avid sportsman, he does not particularly care for adventure or travel preferring to stay close to home, perfecting his wine making skills, napping and working on his ever popular blog. Mac enjoys endless home renovations and currently has several half finished projects on the go.

Mac is also involved in several upcoming projects which include power washing his siding, shingling the shed roof and plans are underway for a new kitchen floor and a deck. Mr. Haynes can be found resting at his home at 30 Brighton Ct. almost any evening after 9 PM. No official visitation is planned, however friends and relatives are encouraged to drop by any time - but call first.

In lieu of flowers those wishing to pay their respects are requested to please bring tomato plants.

"He looks so much like himself" ... he is missed and fondly remembered by his sister Judy, who cannot drop by any evening before or after 9 p.m., but if circumstances change and she is able to visit, she definitely will call ahead:(
