JOHN "PIE" MCKENZIE

Dear Megan, Joyce and little Johnny McKenzie Jr. and family.
Can't believe two years have gone by so soon.
R.I.P. Johnny McKenzie

God bless you Pie ! You will be missed my dear friend. Love and God bless Keith Leblanc Millis Ma

Thanks Johnny for all the great memories .. I had the pleasure of meeting you in 1972 at Camp Montrose in Lynnfield.. It was a great experience I will treasure forever..
Rest well my friend you fought the good fight

I grew up in Lexington and Cambridge Ma. During the Pie McKenzie era. His most important goal was in Game 4. of the 1970 semi final round game vs. The Blackhawks. Pie scored with under 2 minutes to play, to give the Bruins a 5-4 victory. And a 4-0 series sweep.

It would be a busy day in the pro shop. Phone ringing people hovering around the counter checking one thing or another. After most everyone was gone you'd look up and see Johnnie Pie sitting inconspicuously in a chair- never saying a word. My dad Spike would say Hey Johnnie Pie.
And McKenzie would say Not to busy today ey' Spike! And then he'd slap his knee and just start laughing. It ALWAYS brought a smile to us. Every time you'd see Pie - you knew your day was going to be a little...

I knew Johnny from my days at the Branding Iron in Boston and delivered a special meal to him when he was in the Mass General back in 70-71, compliments of Bobby Orr. The entire team was made up of individuals yet they molded together as one unit, that was their success. I'll miss you Johnny, say Hi to Ace. Scotty

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of my wonderful godfather from Nanton, Alberta, Canada. My childhood memories spent with John and his family during the summers in Nanton, between hockey seasons, are treasured and special. My Dad Warren Cooper Jr. was a childhood friend of John's. Their friendship continued into adulthood when both had young families and beyond. The McKenzies would visit our ranch west of Nanton and fun was had by all!!
My visits to Boston and time spent with John were...
