HONE, McGregor
Husband, father, artist, teacher, activist, born February 7,
1920, died July 18, 2007. Mac lived his life with great passion,
sharing it with Beth, his wife and collaborator, for over 62 years.
While a private man, he made lasting Friendships easily. Known
for his razor-sharp wit, and wide knowledge, he could be relied
on to provide the right quote for every occasion. Mac earned
his B.A. and certificate of education at the University of Saskatchewan
in 1941. During the war, Mac welded Victory ships at North Vancouver
Shipyards. He and Beth were married in Nanaimo in 1944. He first
taught in Copper Mountain, British Columbia where Dave was born.
In 1947, the family moved to Regina and Mac began his long teaching
career at Central Collegiate. Shortly after, Jan was born. In
the mid 1950s he attended Emma Lake work shops organized by his
friend and teacher Ernie Lindner. In the late 1950s the family
travelled to Europe, where Mac studied at the Central School
of Arts and Crafts in London. They spent the summers travelling
across Europe in a Volkswagen van. In the 60's, Mac, Lloyd Blackman
and Jack Williams started Regina's first fine arts high school
program at Central Collegiate. Mac developed the visual arts
program from which many successful artists graduated. His exciting
classes drew students from across Regina, many of whom kept in
touch over the years. For them Mac was a mentor, encouraging
bot creativity and technique. Mac's involvement with the Saskatchewan
Teachers Federation included negotiating many improvements in
contracts for teachers and serving on the Executive. After his
retirement in 1979 he was active in the Superannuated Teachers
of Saskatchewan. Throughout his life, Mac painted, drew and made
prints. He and Beth travelled extensively. His travels and his
passion for history, literature, astronomy, entomology and philosophy
inspired his work, which has been shown in numerous galleries,
including the National Gallery of Canada, and is held in collections
across the country. For 68 consecutive years, Mac produced a
greeting card print, much anticipated by Friends, reflecting
a moment of the past year. Mac's painting 'By the Radio' (1950)
was the first work of art purchased by the Saskatchewan Arts
Board for its permanent collection. In 1995 the Board gave him
its Lifetime Award for Excellence in the Arts. A longtime Unitarian,
for many years Mac illustrated and produced 'The Chalice' newsletter
for the Regina Fellowship. Mac was predeceased by his daughter
Jan in 2004. He will be greatly missed by Beth, his loving wife
and best friend of 62 years, son Dave (Carol), son-in-law Jim
HALL, grandchildren Brenna (Ryan)
ACKERMAN and Will
HALL, great-grand_sons
Ethan and Avery McGregor
ACKERMAN.
The family thanks Doctor Doris
Logan and staff of the Regina Qu'Appelle Palliative Care Program,
especially the Home Health Aides whose care enabled Mac to remain
at home until his death. Special thanks to the many Friends and
neighbours who provided support to Mac and Beth during his illness,
particularly Bob and Sandy Johnson and Kathy Reimer. A celebration
of Mac's life will be held at 2: 30 p.m., Wednesday, July 25 at
Regina Apostolic Church, 808 Assiniboine Avenue East. Reception
to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Unitarian
Fellowship of Regina, Box 1591, Regina, Saskatchewan, S4P 3C4.
Garden flowers in vases are welcome at the memorial service.
