He was a kind, loving and spirited heart gentle person who loves his wife very dearly. A brave gentle soul who loves being at home doing what he likes most that is to look after himself. He found love in doing things for himself like cooking soup and reading the papers and looking after his bills. I'm going to miss his loveable smile and one of the brightest kind and understandable man I have ever met. - Posted by: Romeo S (home care worker) on: Feb 18, 2015

Toutes mes sympathies à la famille Blanc/Meixner. Je ne connaissais pas votre beau-père/grand-père mais s'il était aussi gentils que vous tous, il vous manquera sûrement. Je viens aussi d'apprendre qu'il vivait sur la rue où nous habitons présentement, la rue St-Jean-Baptiste! Mes pensées et prières sont avec vous. - Posted by: Maryvonne Alarie () on: Feb 12, 2015

Marcien was a neighbor of ours on St. Jean Baptiste. He was a great and kind man. My memory of him was how he and my dad with an uncle caught a peeping tom that would come to my sister's bedroom between our two homes. That baseball bat and broom sure did the trick to get rid of the voyeur. He always a cheerful good morning for us and was extremely kind to my Mom when when my dad passed away in January of 73. - Posted by: Jocelyne Durand (nee Moquin) (old neighbour) on: Feb 11, 2015

Ken and I offer our deepest condolences to Aunty Angelina and the family! Uncle Mac has been an inspiration to me for many, many years and I loved him very much not only as my Uncle but as my Godfather! I will miss him but I will always remember our visits and fun times together when we travelled to Winnipeg to visit! Uncle is with Therese and the many relatives that have gone before him and I'm sure he had a glorious reunion with all of them! Rest in Peace Uncle Mac! With our Love Shirley, Ken and Family - Posted by: Shirley sarafinchan (Niece) on: Feb 11, 2015

Uncle Mac and Aunty Angelina were very kind to our family. Although they only had one daughter, every Christmas while we were young they welcomed our entire family (ALL 8 of us) for Christmas dinner! I will always remember the warmth of their home, beautiful tree, fresh cooked dinner and homemade pastries. The real treat was receiving a gift.....no one left out. The fact that Aunty had to go to a nursing home a few years ago made it difficult for both of them to be separated...then the loss of Therese... Their FAITH in GOD helped them through this difficult time! RIP Uncle Mac you are now with Therese, my Dad, Rosario, and so many others!
