Obituary for Louis K. ""Kim"" MacKendrick PhD
Welcomed into God’s loving arms on February 4, 2021 at the age of 80 years.
Loving husband and best friend to Catherine, with whom he celebrated 54 years of marriage. Loving father to Kenneth (Andrea), Sarah (1973), and Andrew (the late Danielle 2020). Granddaddy to Natasha and Greta MacKendrick. Son of the late Harry and VeNorma MacKendrick. Kim will be missed by his friends, colleagues, and his family at St. Matthew’s Church.
As an English Professor at the University of Windsor for 29 years; he specialized in the study of Canadian Poetry and Literature. He was a wonderfully gifted teacher and came alive in the class room. Another joy he had was singing in the church choir and playing golf with friends. For decades camping trips to Killarney Provincial Park were spent with family where he said “we met God”. Kim was known for his wonderful sense of humour, his gift for gab, and how he could put people at ease.
The family extends grateful thanks to the staff at Huron Lodge for their special care. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to Windsor Essex Alzheimers Society and St. Matthew’s Anglican Church would be appreciated.
