November 25th, 1929 – September 23rd, 2020
Owen Kenneth (Mick) McLeod, a proud veteran of the Royal Canadian Air Force, went home to be with his Lord and Saviour on Wednesday, September 23rd, 2020 at the age of 90 years.
Mick was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on November 25th, 1929 and was the firstborn child of Malcolm (Mac) McLeod and Alice Belle McLeod (née: Cook).
