MCARTHUR, Alan Alan
McArthur, 84, passed away peacefully on Monday, May 14, 2018 at
Juravinski Hospital after a brief illness. Alan is predeceased by his loving wife Joan (nee Crawford), brother Doug and daughter Susan. He will be sadly missed by his sister Violet; his daughters Terri Petrachek (Will) and Judy McCullough (Chris); grandchildren Stephen (Kristen), Bradley, Kira (Mike), Chris (Emily); and great-grandchildren Aysia, Mikaleigh, Ainsley, Liam and Finn. Alan had a very diverse career, starting at Dofasco then moving on to serve as a Hamilton Firefighter for many years, where he was known as "Mac", before retiring as a teacher from the HWDSB. He enjoyed many sports, playing baseball with The Big Four as well as basketball in his younger years. After his retirement, Alan also spent his time on puzzles, calligraphy and his garden for which he was awarded many Trillium Awards. Alan was a fighter and battled through many challenging experiences and illnesses in his 84 years, but he remained quite strong to the very end. Those who had the honour of knowing Alan will miss his sense of humour, his knowledge of current events and literature as well as his great pride in, and care for, his family. At Alan's request, cremation has taken place however the family invites you for a small reception to share in the celebration of Alan's life at L.G. WALLACE FUNERAL HOME, 151 Ottawa St. N., Hamilton (905-544-1147) on Saturday, May 19th from 2-4 p.m. A private interment will take place at a later date. Should friends desire, contributions may be directed to the Cancer Assistance Program (CAP) at 569 Concession St., Hamilton, ON L8V 1B2 on behalf of Alan. Many thanks to the doctors, especially Dr. Love, and the nurses in E3 for making his last days comfortable. |
