Please accept our condolences on the passing of Benton. I worked closely with him during the early years of setting up the Historical Society in Calgary. His leadeership played an important role in its success. Benton was always friendly, helpful, and generous with his time. I always valued his friendship.

Mark McCowan

Please accept my heartfeld condolences regarding your loss. Benton Mackid was a rare individual who embraced his family’s long history, displayed the hallmarks of the gentleman, and was, without doubt, one of the best humourists.

He valued his friends and was kind and generous to them throughout his long life. He worked hard in his field and made sacrifices that sometimes agonized him. May you cherish his memory and embrace the living!

On behalf of the Department of Family Medicine I would like to extend our deepest sympathies in the loss of your Father, especially so soon after the loss of Doris. You know the significance of the Mackid history to our Department and the ongoing legacy of physician education through the Mackid Symposium.

At this most difficult time, you are in our thoughts and prayers. We know you will take great comfort in having your family and friends close to you. I wish we were not so far away but know that we are thinking of you often and giving you all a big hug.

Love, Yvonne, Dave and Family
