Obituary for David MacNeil

Born March 3. 1944 in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, the son of Dr. William (Bill) Macneil and Hilda (Judy) MacDonald, he was the eldest of three children. He married Hughena Elizabeth Kennedy on May 3, 1969. He died November 29, 2018 in Fredericton, New Brunswick, having developed his first symptoms of cancer only two months before.

He is survived by his wife Hughena, son Leo (Kitty) of Fredericton, son Hugh of Ottawa, Ontario, daughter Catherine (Simon) and their children Anna, Benjamin, and Samuel of Calgary, Alberta, and son Iain of Fredericton; sister Brenda (Barry Keeler), and brother Bill Macneil (Shelley) of Halifax, Nova Scotia; brother–in–law Ranald Kennedy (Penny) and sister–in–law Christena Kendziora (Lloyd).

Predeceased by his parents William and Judy and beloved aunt and uncle Leo and Stella MacKinnon, parents–in–law Catherine Florence (MacIsaac) and Archibald Kennedy, and brother–in–law John Archibald Kennedy.

He and his wife Hughena celebrated the 50th anniversary of their first date on the first day of spring this year. Throughout a long and successful career, his family remained his first priority. An amateur genealogist, he celebrated all growth to his family tree, both lateral and vertical. He loved the physics of photography and the technical aspects of developing. His treasured slide shows, entitled “This is Your Life”, were tweaked every year and presented on each child’s birthday.

David grew up in Halifax and attended St Patrick High School there. He moved on to St Francis Xavier University, 1960–1963 (Dip.Eng.) and then Nova Scotia Technical College (now Dalhousie University), 1963–1967 (B.Eng. (Honours), M.Eng.).

He enrolled in the Ph.D. program in Electrical Engineering at the University of New Brunswick, entering student leadership roles as Chair of the Board of Directors of the Student Union Building and served as the first student representative on the UNB Senate.He took on a joint appointment as Professor of Computer Science and Director of Computing Services for the university. During a memorable sabbatical at Stanford University in 1977–78, he was in the thick of the development of modern networked computing. He championed computing and network connectivity for UNB, New Brunswick, throughout Canada, and the world. UNB was thus one of the first institutions in the country connected to the Internet and the very first to offer free email accounts to its students.

In his 21–year tenure as Director of Computing Services, he became internationally recognized as an internet pioneer. With vision and persistence, he negotiated consensus that paved the way to connect our communities via computer networks. He was a founding member of NetNorth Inc., CANARIE Inc. and the NATO Science Committee Computer Networks Panel.David retired in 2006. He was awarded Professor Emeritus in Computer Science May 19, 2011. He would continue his relationship with the university through his membership in the UNB Retired Employees Association, most recently serving as its President, and was proud of the History of Computing at UNB project, looking back on a legacy.

He was a passionate sailor. He was a long–time member of the Fredericton Yacht Club and served as its Commodore. He enjoyed the more relaxing aspects of sailing with family and friends – cruising on Grand Lake, the Mactaquac head pond, down the East coast, and among the British Virgin Islands. Though racing was a pleasure, win or lose, he was competitive, diligently analyzing his races. He was generous in sharing what he learned through a lifetime of sailing. He won the “Sunset Race”, the last race of the year, on an exciting, blustery Sept 22, 2018.

Heartfelt thanks to his friends and colleagues over the years, and those who came to visit him and wrote with their good wishes during his final days. Visits and notes greatly enlivened his spirits. The family wishes to express gratitude to those who took good care of David in his final days, both at his initial stay at Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital on 4SE, then at the Moncton Hospital, where Dr. Krista Kemp was his champion prior to his return to DECH. Special thanks to his family doctor, Dr. Kathleen Woods, his inpatient hospitalist Dr. Kelsey Cameron, and to Dr. Gord MacDonald and Dr. Jill Goodyear from Palliative Care. RNs Kim, Apryl, Krista, and Vicky and support staff on the DECH's palliative care unit will be remembered. Thanks to Father Monte Peters, Father John Jennings, and Father Bill Brennan for their spiritual care of us all.

Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Monday, December 3, 2018 at 12:05 at St. Dunstan's Catholic Church, followed by a reception at the Monsignor Boyd Family Centre. Interment will be at a later date.

David valued education, science, religion, and the future. Honoring this, donations in his memory may be made to the David and Hughena Macneil Scholarship fund administered by UNB Fredericton or a charity of your choice. www.bishopsfuneralhome.com
