McCAIG,
John
Robert "
Bud" (1929-2005)
Beloved husband, father, grandfather, friend, entrepreneur and
philanthropist, J.R. (Bud)
McCAIG, died peacefully while at his
vacation home in Barbados on Tuesday, January 11, 2005 at the
age of 75 years. Bud will be dearly missed by his wife M. Ann
McCAIG and his brother Maurice
McCAIG
(Nicole,) his three children
Jeff McCAIG
(Marilyn;) JoAnn
McCAIG and Melanie
McCAIG (Al
MAGEE)
Ann's three children Roxanne
McCAIG (Mark
BARTKO), John
McCAIG
(Penelope) and Jane McCaig
WALLER
(Rich) and his 18 grandchildren.
Bud was predeceased by his parents J.W. (Jack)
McCAIG and Stella
McCAIG, his sister Jeanne
(McCAIG)
PALMER and his brother Roger
McCAIG.
Bud will also be sadly missed by the many, many people
whose lives he touched, impacted and inspired throughout his
life as a friend, mentor, business associate, and community leader.
Bud was born on June 14, 1929 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, the
first son of Jack and Stella
McCAIG, a hard working couple with
vision. When he turned 16, Bud joined his father at his growing
truck company, Maccam Transport, and not long after that Bud
had three trucks of his own. In 1961 Bud moved to Calgary with
his family when Maccam acquired H.M. Trimble and Sons. Soon after
that Bud began to unfold his vision to transform the company
from a Saskatchewan trucking firm into a major Canadian transportation
company. When Bud's dad retired from Maccam Transport in 1962
the three McCAIG brothers formed a new holding company called
Trimac and with Bud at the helm they built one of the most successful,
progressive and innovative transportation companies in North
America. At the heart of Bud's success, was a set of values and
principles handed down from his parents. This guided Bud's every
decision and was reflected in his deep commitment to the people
who worked for Trimac, the communities in which he lived and
worked and his family. Like his father, Bud was a hard working,
entrepreneurial businessman who believed strongly in being an
industry leader, setting an example for others and giving back
to the community. Bud also applied his values to his work as
a philanthropist and volunteer. He believed that if something
was worth doing it was worth doing well and he was never deterred
by the personal sacrifices required to realize the dreams of
the many charitable organizations he served. He envisioned Calgary
leading the world in the delivery of health care services and
medical research. One of his passions was research in the area
of the treatment and prevention of arthritis and this led to
the establishment of the McCaig Centre for Joint Injury and Arthritis
Research in 1993. In March of 2004 he helped advance that dream
further when he contributed $10 million to the new Bone and Joint
Institute at Foothills Hospital. Bud's leadership in this area
has gone a long way to attract some of the world's finest researchers
to Calgary. Bud served as the Chairman of the Board of the Foothills
Hospital Foundation from 1991 to 1994 and Vice Chair of the Foothills
Hospital Board of Management. During that time he was a driving
force behind the development and successful completion of Partners
in Health, the $50 million capital campaign for health care research,
equipment and services. At the request of Alberta Premier, the
Honorable Ralph Klein, Bud was appointed the Chairman of the
Calgary Regional Health Authority in 1994 and took on the job
of restructuring the Calgary health care system. He also helped
create the Calgary Health Trust, as the fundraising arm of the
new regional health care system and served as its first chairman.
Over the years, Bud was recognized for his many accomplishments.
In 2004 he was one of three inaugural inductees in the Calgary
Business Hall of Fame. In 2002 he received the Queen's Jubilee
Award and in 1999 he became a member of the Order of Canada.
In 1998 he received his honorary doctor of laws degree from the
University of Calgary and the Distinguished Business Leader Award
from the Haskayne School of Business and the Calgary Chamber
of Commerce. Bud also received the Canadian Master Entrepreneur
Award of the Year in Alberta and Canada in 1994. In addition
to his interests in business, health care, and medicine, Bud
was also a very passionate hockey fan and was well known as one
of the owners of the Calgary Flames, a role he found particularly
satisfying in 2003 when the team came within one goal of winning
the Stanley Cup. While Bud enjoyed great success in all aspects
of his life, he never forgot his roots and maintained a spirit
of humility, kindness and integrity that endeared him to everyone
who had the privilege of knowing him. Bud had a unique ability
to unite people around a vision and to see it through to completion.
His own personal example won him the respect and admiration of
all who worked with him and served with him. He will be greatly
missed but his legacy will live on to remind future generations
of the impact that one life lived well can make. If Friends so
desire, memorial tributes may be made to the Calgary Health Trust
- Alberta Bone and Joint Institute (McCaig Centre), 10101 Southport
Road S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2W 3N2. Announcements to follow.
Arrangements in care of McInnis and Holloway Funeral Homes Park
