It is with great sadness that the College shares the news of the passing of Tony McKinnon.

Many in our community will remember Tony from his years at A.B. Paterson College and the significant role he played in our early history. He was an integral part of the College community and helped shape the foundations upon which we continue to build today.

Tony was a true gentleman. Kind, generous, humble, and always willing to lend a hand, he had a way of making people feel valued and welcome. His contribution extended far beyond the work he did, and he will be remembered not only for what he achieved, but for the person he was.

Quite simply, Tony was one of a kind. Those of us who had the privilege of knowing him are better for it.

On behalf of our College community, we have extended our sincere condolences to Tony's wife Sue, son Andrew, and all of his loved ones.

Funeral details are attached.
