Malcolm 'Mac' Cripps passed away peacefully on New Years Day at the Saint John Regional Hospital after a short battle with cancer. He was 66 years old.
Mac grew up in Norton, New Brunswick and caught the harness racing bug at an early age, helping his father, Eddie, and brother, Dan, with a small family stable racing at Exhibition Park in Saint John and Brunswick Downs in Moncton. Mac went to Ontario for a period in the '80s to work for his good friend Carl Jamieson. In later years Mac always looked forward to meeting up with Carl and Debbie to reminisce and talk racing during his yearly visit to PEI with his family for Old Home Week. Mac will be dearly missed and always remembered as a loving son, brother, uncle and friend.
Funeral proceedings took place on Monday, January 8 at Sherwood's Funeral Home in Midland, New Brunswick.
