MACFARLANE, Anstruther "Struther" Pettigrew - (August 25, 1950 - October 31, 2019)
It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Struther, age 69, on October 31, 2019, at the Oshawa Hospital after a lengthy battle with cancer.
He was predeceased by his father Anstruther P. Macfarlane, and is survived by his loving mother, May (nee McLaren), brother Ian (Joni), sister Moira A. Sutton (Cliff), son Bill (Danielle), niece Lindsay, nephew Andrew, Judy (Chris), Judy Sherman and special friend Sheila O'Neill as well as his many friends.
Struther was born in Perth, Scotland and loved all things Scottish. He played the bag pipes and was often asked to give "The address to the Haggis" at Robert Burn's events.
His other loves were photography, sailing, riding his motorcycle, was a Certified Scuba Diving Instructor and held a Pilot's Licence. He loved animals especially his Huskies Jersey and Maple.
Struther attended East York Collegiate Institute in Toronto and worked at Ontario Hydro in Computers and Programming.
We thank the doctors and staff at Sunnybrook Hospital, Ajax and Oshawa Palliative Care units for their kindness in making Struther's last days comfortable.
Cremation has already taken place and no formal service is planned.
