JAMES JOHN MACKENZIE

My grandfather was a great man, and I wish I'd gotten to know him better.

Thank you to all for your kind words. It is good to know that many who knew Jim appreciated him for the special man he was.

Earth have no sorrow that heaven can't heal.
Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of such a wonderful and lovely man.
It's was truly a pleasure to have met you and your husband, may his beautiful soul rest in perfect peace.

I knew Jim from that unknown art of Aikido and practiced with him often. He always had a nice gentle way in class. I am sad. May your memory of him always be kind and happy, may your time of acceptance be short.

My condolences to the MacKenzie family at their tragic loss. I knew Jim via aikido, where he was the senior student and a leading figure at Capital Aikikai when I first moved to Washington, DC. Jim always had a friendly and joyous demeanor at the dojo, but also made sure that the dojo was run well. Jim was a good role model on how to bring the lessons of aikido into one's daily life.

My sincere condolences to Rhoda and the family. I just learned this news a few days ago. I practiced Aikido with Jim and came to know him as a quietly remarkable person. May he find his True Home!

Dear Dave and other Makenzie family, kin,and friends, our prayers are with you all.

Rhoda, David, Mat, & the entire MacKenzie family,

Condoloences to all from across the miles.

My condolences to the Mackenzie family and friends for the loss of your dear loved one. The sting of death touches the very core of our hearts and emotions. Please find comfort in knowing that Our Creator can be a source of hope and comfort to all during your time of grief.
