Obituary

Robert E. MacKay, 85, of Franklin died peacefully on Wednesday, November 20, 2019 at Milford Regional Hospital after battling an illness for several weeks.

He leaves his wife of 63 years, Donna (Paine) MacKay; his daughter Karen MacKay; his son, Keith MacKay and wife Donna; and 7 grandchildren.

Once becoming a resident of Franklin in 1962, Bob continued to work at Jordan Marsh for 36 years out of Squantum. He was a lifetime member at the Franklin Elks where he enjoyed bartending as many functions that his wife allowed. In between events, Bob loved playing billiards and card games, not to forget a beer or two with his pals.

Bob enjoyed spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren and supporting them at their sporting events. Bob and his wife worked closely with the greyhound rescue league, advocating for their safety and adopting 7 greyhounds over the years. His dogs loved racing around the yard while Bob tended to his garden.

Robert is loved by many and he will be missed to no end. May he Rest In Peace.

Services will be private.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Robert’s name to the American Diabetes Association 260 Cochituate Road #200, Framingham, MA 01701.
