Karl Glenn MaNaughton
1929-2017
Karl Glenn MacNaughton, 87, died Sunday, April 2, 2017 at the
Doctor Everett Chalmers Hospital.
He leaves his wife of almost 67 years, Ferne Grace (Stewart)
MacNaughton; his daughter Ann Carol LeBlanc (Ted), his son Glenn
Stewart MacNaughton (Kellie Hanson), two beautiful granddaughters
Katie Ann LeBlanc and Emily Grace MacNaughton, his sister Pauline
Crawford (late Frank), and special nieces and nephews.
Karl was born and raised in Fredericton, New Brunswick, the
son of the late Donald Gordon MacNaughton and the late Cora Luella
(Brewer) MacNaughton.
He is predeceased by two sisters – Joyce Phair
(late Walter) and Doris O’Hara (late James) – two
brothers – John (Jack) (late Doris) and Stuart (late
Macrena), and five infant siblings.
At the age of 13, Karl started working after school and on
Saturdays, and during his high school years he was occupied with three
part-time jobs. Following graduation he entered the
construction field and for nine years was employed with
sub-contractors and a general contractor. In 1956, he joined
NB Power and began a varied career in the hydro-electric generation
stations in operations and electrical maintenance and
construction. In 1970 he was appointed Hydraulic Studies
Supervisor at Head Office and moved to the Personnel
Division. He retired after 33 years of service, his final
position being that of Manager of Labour Relations.
Karl had many interests in life. He organized the
Atlantic Labour Relations Conference and was appointed Chairman; he
was past Chairmant of the Fredericton Public Library; and a Veternan
Life Member of the Victoria Lodge No. 13, having been initiated in
1947 and maintaining membership until his death. Karl was an
avid reader and he and Ferne did extensive research on their
MacNaughton family and were able to trace the direct line back to the
early 1700’s. They printed a book in story form on
the family and copies are now held by interested relatives and friends
– literally – around the world. Two
visits to Scotland allowed Ferne and Karl to meet MacNaughton
relatives, thus re-establishing a tie that had been severed when
Karl’s great-grandparents came to Canada in 1875.
Karl had a passion for hunting and was known for his ability to find
his way in the woods. He often chuckled that he had left
tracks in 13 counties in New Brunswick. The camp and
woodlots on the Tay were important to family and friends.
His workshop at home was what Karl called his “happy
place”. The sounds of the saw, planer, shaper,
jointer, and drills were familiar ones in the
household.
Above all else, Karl’s deepest feelings were for
his family. When speaking of his children and grandchildren
he would invariably say “that’s what it’s
all about”.
No visitation, no service. In lieu of
flowers, donations can be made to St. Peter’s Presbyterian
Church in Stanley, NB.
