Condolences

Condolence From: julia loewen
Condolence: Bill's Dad was a classmate of mine. I was a patient of Dr. Mac Rae for years. His remarkable skill and compassion came through when he operated on a friend of mine's severely disabled sister. No one seemed willing to operate, and she was, by this time, virtually blind. Bill did a superb job with the surgery ( I'm a nurse ), but helped her via wheelchair to leave hospital, and gave her sister his private number should there be a need. Remarkable man; he seconded us for the Granite Club, a wonderful privilege. Very sorry for this loss.

Condolence: So sorry to hear about Bill's passing.
He was a treasured mentor when I was a resident, and a special colleague for many years at UHN and Sick Kids. In fact, he was the first surgeon with whom I did a surgical case as a resident -- an eye muscle operation --and I told him many times how kind he was to a novice and unskilled pupil! He gave me many wise suggestions along the way in practice management, specialty focus, and teaching methods. He was a model teacher and clinician, and he deserved every one of the many awards from the residents and medical students. He will be greatly missed. Condolences to the family. May his memory be a blessing.

Condolence: I was saddened to read in the paper of Dr. Macrae's passing.

He was my eye doctor for more than 25 years and he was a kind and caring individual who always took the time to listen to me and answer any questions I had. His continued concern for the wellbeing of his patients was evident when he had to close his practice in Toronto.

My deepest condolences to Dr. Macrae's family.
