McKEE, David Adam
of Little Britain, Ontario passed away on Friday May 12th, 2006 having just celebrated his 77th birthday. He died peacefully surrounded by his loving family. His strong spirit and sense of humor was with him until the end. He is survived by his wife of fifty-five years, Shirley Marie McKee (nee Lorch), and his five children: Thomas (Lee Mitchell), Valerie (Paul Grizenko), Vicki (Nick Pereira), Scott (PennyTaylor) and Tracey (Robert Bowrin) and ten grandchildren. David, the youngest of nine children, was born April 29th, 1929 on the family farm in Glen Allan, Ontario. He left the farm at a young age and pursued many ventures with his characteristic determination including the manufacture and sale of farm equipment and pulp and paper design engineering. His most recent success was with the satellite business, Lunaterre Marketing and Development Ltd., which he operated for eleven years with the help of his wife, son and son-in-law. Throughout his life, he truly did it his way. He will be remembered most for his great humour, generosity and enthusiasm for life. Husband, father, grandfather, great friend, dreamer, fisherman, wine maker, sports fan, car enthusiast and entrepreneur--- Dad did it all. He will be greatly missed by everyone. Family and friends are invited to call at the Mackey Funeral Home, 33 Peel Street Lindsay for memorial visitation on Monday from 7:00-9:00 p.m. and at the Little Britain United Church on Tuesday May 16th from 1:00 p.m. until the time of a celebration of David's life at 3:00 p.m. If desired, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated.
