Samuel (Frank) Franklin MacLeod died peacefully on February 16, 2019 in Calgary, Alberta, at the age of 94, after a life well lived. Born on July 4,1924 in Edmonton, Alberta. Frank was the seventh of eight children born to Alexander Edward and Myrtle MacLeod. In 1943 he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force where he served until 1945.

Soon after he joined Texaco Canada and worked with them in various locations in Alberta before finally settling in Calgary. He was a made a Life Member of the Canadian Petroleum Tax Society for his service from 1960 to 1984.
After retiring from Texaco in 1986, he and Mary pursued a lifelong dream of moving to Sechelt, British Columbia. Dad truly enjoyed his retirement spent travelling, gardening, volunteering, walking his beloved dogs, enjoying his view of the Trail Bay Islands and drinking "two beers a day". He was predeceased by his wife Mary on July 6,1996 and his friend Lorna Huggins on November 10, 2016. He will be missed by his loving family, his children, Reg MacLeod (Sally), Becky MacLeod (Roger), Rick MacLeod (Beverly) and Doug MacLeod (Vickie); his granddaughters Kim MacLeod (Darcy), Allison Knowles (Pete), Megan MacLeod (Steven), Kerra Lebsack (Greg) and Breanne MacLeod; and his great-grandchildren Mattais, Emily, Caleb and Mikyla. As the last of his generation from both the MacLeod and Brown families he was a loved and respected Uncle Frank and will be missed by many nieces and nephews, as well as great and great-great nieces and nephews. With respect to Dad's wishes there will not be a funeral. Those who so desire may make memorial donations in memory of Frank's love of animals to any branch of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).

So sorry for your loss. Frank was a great neighbor & friend. I lived on the "upper Chartwell" where we all spent some very memorable times. It would be hard to find a finer couple than Mary & Frank.
My heartfelt sympathy to the family.
