McKINLAY,
Ronald
Archibald
Born in Toronto in 1924. Suddenly, Monday evening, June 11, 2007
at Muskoka Mills, Georgian Bay -- his true heaven on earth. Loving
husband, father, grandfather and brother. Survived by his wife,
Hilda; children and spouses Henry and Yvonne
McKINLAY,
Mildred
and Brian GILLESPIE,
Ronald
(Bill) and Kimberly
McKINLAY, James
McKINLAY and Gina
ELSLEY, grandchildren Jennifer, Andrew, Calum
and Darcy; brother Alan and sister Carol
SCHNURR. He attended
Lawrence Park Collegiate Institute and the University of Toronto,
where he was one of the first group to pass through the University
Naval Training Division at the University of Toronto before serving
as an officer at sea in the Canadian Navy (Royal Canadian Naval
Volunteer Reserve) during World War 2. In 1949 he was graduated
with a B.A.Sc. from the Faculty of Engineering University of
Toronto, and in 1952 with an M.Com. from the Business School
at the University of Toronto, and subsequently became a Certified
Management Accountant. He held positions in industry with The
Canadian Kodak Co. Ltd., Reliance Electric (Canada) Ltd. and
the Coffield Washing Machine Co. Ltd. Subsequently he was Industrial
Advisor for the Bank of Montreal, dealing with problem commercial
and industrial accounts from Newfoundland to British Columbia.
In 1966 he joined The Clarkson Co. Ltd., the trustee wing of
what was then Clarkson Gordon, where he stayed until his first
retirement in 1985, the last three years as Chairman. At the
time of the bank and trust company failures in the 1980s, he
was asked to chair the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation,
where he stayed for seven and a half years, dealing with the
problems involved in those failures. He retired for the second
time, in 1992, but was then asked to join the Newcourt Credit
Group as Chairman, where he remained until his last and final
retirement in 1998. Some of his directorships were with Champion
Road Machinery Ltd. in Goderich, Ontario, Canadian Life and Health
Insurance Compensation Corp., Toronto, Nu-West Group Ltd., Calgary,
and H and K Equipment Ltd., Toronto. He was a Fellow of the Institute
of Canadian Bankers; a Fellow of the Society of Management Accountants,
of which he was Ontario President and then Canadian President.
He was also a member of the Senate of the University of Toronto
for eight years. Although Ronald had many outside interests,
his greatest was his membership of over fifty years in Metropolitan
United Church in Toronto, where he was, for two separate periods,
Chairman of the Board of Trustees. On his retirement from the
Newcourt Credit Group, his retirement gift was an echo organ
for the balcony of Metropolitan, adding to the church's glorious
five-manual Casavant organ, which is one of the finest concert
organs in Canada. Ronald and Hilda moved to Barrie, Ontario less
than a year ago, to be closer to their cottage at Muskoka Mills,
and it was there that he left us. There will be a private family
service this week, and in the fall a memorial organ and choir
concert at Metropolitan United Church in Toronto. In lieu of
flowers, donations to the Ronald McKinlay Organ Fund at Metropolitan
United Church, 56 Queen Street East, Toronto, M5C 2Z3, would
be gratefully received and can be made through Steckley-Gooderham
Funeral Home (30 Worsley Street), Barrie. Condolences may be
forwarded to the family through www.steckleygooderham.com
