McCALL, Neil Hay - Aged 85, passed away on July 20, 2018 at Rockyview General Hospital in Calgary.
Neil was born on July 19, 1933 in Toronto to Colin and Jean McCall.
He proudly told stories of his childhood, raised in a cold-water flat and dreaming of greatness as a baseball player.
He spent most of his career in banking, earning his nickname "Cash McCall" as he worked his way up the ranks to regional management at IAC, Continental Bank and Lloyds Bank and later vice-president at HSBC.
Neil later founded McCall Capital Inc., where he could structure complex international leasing arrangements with his trusty Springer Spaniel/security dog by his side.
Neil was honoured to serve as a caddie at the 1947 Canadian Open, which ignited a lifelong passion for golf. For over 40 years he was a member of Credit Valley Golf & Country Club in Mississauga, where he could always be found in the first group on Saturday mornings and was proud to record two holes-in-one.
In retirement, Neil spent many happy winters at The Villages, in Florida and moved to Calgary in 2012 to be closer to his family. He never missed an opportunity to pass along life lessons, tell family stories and sing old-time songs with his loved ones.
He will be dearly missed by his loving wife Marg, his three daughters Lesley, Laurie (Glen) and Kim (Scott) and his grandchildren Dale (Lisa), Molly, Cole, Sean, Dougie, Connie and Colin and his great-grandson Cameron.
In lieu of flowers, the family has asked for donations to the Canadian Red Cross.
