DR. ROBERT MURRAY MUNDLE (鈥53)
Submitted by Mabel Mundle Bannerman (鈥54)

Dr. Murray Mundle passed away in October 2021, after a long and interesting life.

He was a graduate of 蜜桃视频 Allison and subsequently studied at Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar in 1954, and then at McGill University, attaining an MDCM degree in 1959. 

After serving in the Royal Canadian Navy for several years, he received his FRCS in urology and began a practice in Charlottetown in 1968. At that time, he was the only urologist on PEI. 

He retired in 2001 but maintained his association with the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and continued his many hobbies until the last few months of his life. Although not born on PEI, he became a true-blue Islander. He is greatly missed by his family, his colleagues, and many friends.


PAUL DOUGLAS HALEY 鈥 BA (鈥53), BEd (鈥55)
Submitted by his daughter, Pamela Haley

Doug arrived on scholarship at 蜜桃视频 Allison in 1950. When asked whether he wished to take Arts or Science, he replied, 鈥淗ell, man, I can鈥檛 draw.鈥 It was this quick wit, personable nature, and ability to play bridge that won him many life-long friends.

He actively participated in university life. In a packed lecture hall, Doug made the winning argument for the 鈥榥o鈥 side for the University鈥檚 Debating Society, against the school鈥檚 鈥淭heologs鈥, on the question of whether Sackville should remain 鈥渄ry.鈥 He was Prime Minister of the Mock Parliament (Premier Paul), and Head Boy of Trueman House. During his life, Doug spoke often and fondly of his time at MtA.

 

In 1955, Doug accepted a teaching position in Sherbrooke, NS. After 34 years of teaching, it was his time here that remained his favourite. He fondly remembered each student and their eagerness to learn. Doug also taught in Moncton, NB; Fredericton, NB; Whitby, ON; and Campbellford, ON.

He lived out his retirement years travelling between his home in Kingston, ON, and the family cottage in Baie Verte, NB. He passed on July 27, 2021, at Kingston General Hospital in his 91st year.

He is survived by his wife of 67 years, Betty, and three daughters: Kimberley, Pamela, and Cynthia, as well as one grandson.

Doug is no longer where he used to be, but he is everywhere we are.


WILLIAM KENNETH 鈥淏OOTS鈥 MACLEOD JR. (鈥56) 
Submitted by his son, Donald Robert (Bob) MacLeod

Boots died peacefully on Oct. 8, 2021, in his 89th year, at the Thetford Mines Hospital after a brief illness.

Born in Montreal, and a long-time resident of Thetford Mines, QC, Boots was a loved and respected alumnus, with many stories and laughs to share at milestone class reunions. Via Stanstead College, he became a faithful garnet and gold Allisonian. He was the first of three generations to attend 蜜桃视频 Allison. His granddaughter Breanna will soon graduate, Class of 2022, and eldest son, W.K. MacLeod III (Peter, pred. 2015), 1976, also attended 蜜桃视频 Allison. His father W.K. MacLeod Sr. (WWI veteran, pred. 1982), was an honorary degree (LLD) recipient in 1967 and his mother Marion Lamb Knight (pred. 2007) was a friend of MtA.

While at MtA, Boots played four years of varsity sports, excelling in rugby and on the University鈥檚 first season Canadian football team (fall 1955). He was a past president of Gesner geological society, graduated with a BSc in geology, and was awarded a Golden A. As the lore goes, song, dance, and exiting dorms to meet up with friends was a favorite pastime. Boots then married the 1956 campus queen, beautiful Judy Hollett (鈥57), from Burin, NL, in Sackville United Church on her Convocation Day. They even named their daughter Allison after MtA.

Over the years, Boots was many things: a geologist, President of Lynn Macleod companies, a world traveller, an accomplished sportsman, an antique folk art collector, Canadiens season ticket holder, and foremost a family man. He loved jazz, photography, flying his floatplane, being the Christmas tree guy until the young age of 85 (a fixture in Westmount, QC for over three decades), and known for giving epic toasts for all occasions. He was also a member of many organizations: Saint Hubertus, Freemasons, Royal Canadian Numismatic, Ducks and Trout Unlimited, and the Atlantic Salmon Federation to name a few.

A life well-lived, forever young at heart, he loved his family, friends, and is fondly remembered for his twinkling blue eyes, his red (then grayish) beard, heartfelt smile, good sense of humour, and willingness to help care for others.

Godspeed Boots, until we meet again.


CLYNE LINCOLN BOODOOSINGH (鈥60) 
Submitted by Timothy Lincoln (Boodoosingh)

It is with great sadness, but beautiful memories, that the family of Clyne Lincoln Boodoosingh 鈥 beloved husband of the late Nellie Boodoosingh 鈥 announces his passing on Oct. 6, 2021, at the age of 94.

Born in Tunapuna, Trinidad on June 10, 1927, he was a son of the late James E. Boodoosingh and Alice (Seecharansingh) Boodoosingh.

Clyne鈥檚 teaching career spanned nearly 40 years, starting with the Pupil-Teacher-System, then graduating from Government Teacher鈥檚 College in Trinidad. He later attended 蜜桃视频 Allison University and graduated in 1960 with his BA and BEd. Moving his family to Digby, NS in 1963, he continued his career at Digby Regional High School, teaching history, political science, and the Modern World Problems class. In 1969 he completed his Master of Education at the University of Toronto. In 1977 he spent a sabbatical year at Cambridge University studying under the distinguished professor and philosopher of education, Dr. Paul H. Hirst.

His retirement years were full of travel, golfing, and writing. His semi-autobiographical novel Of Anthuriums and Maple Leaves has become a favorite of family, friends, and peers. He was honoured that his former students sought his counsel years after graduating and he remained a resident of Digby, NS for 58 years until his passing.


CHARLES L. HASKELL (鈥75)
Submitted by his close friend the Honourable David Near (鈥76)

Charles Haskell passed in his sleep on Dec. 5, 2021. He is survived by his wife, Kathleen, and his sons, Nathan and Trahern, and stepdaughters Carolyn and Kristen, as well as his cherished grandchildren, Logan, Benjamin, and Zachary.

Charles was born in Colorado before making his way to MtA where he settled on a small rustic farm in Aulac with a cast of assorted characters. He was a big friendly mountain man and well known at MtA and in the Sackville community. At MtA he played football and was an Atlantic Conference Allstar offensive tackle and co-captain of the team when I first met him at football camp in 1973. Charles was also a two-time Atlantic Conference heavyweight wrestling champion while at MtA.

Charles worked at Westmorland prison before attending law school at Queen's University. After a few years in private practice, Charles worked in Ottawa for the Correctional Services of Canada legal team until his retirement in 2009.

We shared so many wonderful memories, first at MtA in our 鈥榖ack-to-the-land鈥 phase, and then as we raised our respective families in the Ottawa area over the subsequent decades. Charles was a big, gentle man full of kindness, good humour, and integrity. His bravery while dealing with health issues in his later years was an inspiration to us all. His big smile never left him. Rest in peace, my friend.


PIERRE MALLOY, FORMER CHMA STATION MANAGER
Submitted by Bess Winter (鈥08)

Pierre Malloy, beloved former station manager of CHMA 106.9FM, is now transmitting from beyond the dial. He passed away on Jan. 28, 2022 with his wife, artist Tara Wells, by his side.

After several previous careers, Pierre served as station manager from 2003 to 2019. He鈥檚 largely responsible for the CHMA you know and love, having started Stereophonic, made the move from the attic in the STUD to the Wallace McCain Student Centre, and done lots of technical things with transmitters, wires, and broadcasting regulations we鈥檙e all glad he worried about so we didn鈥檛 have to. He mentored hundreds of students and community members who formed an eccentric family of amateur broadcasters, several of whom went on to professional broadcasting careers.

Though he helped so many of us find our voices in life and on air, Pierre disliked being the centre of attention. He kept secrets. It was unclear, for example, what his real name was. We still don鈥檛 know. His birthday may be classified government information. How did he build that full-sized movie theatre in his basement? Did he have help from extra-terrestrials? At one point it seemed he鈥檇 developed a pilot for a prestige TV show. Where did he get the scrawny taxidermied pheasant he introduced to us one day as our new mascot? It鈥檚 possible he exists, now, as a radio wave wobbling its way through space.

We鈥檒l keep tuning in for his messages.
