Proud grandfather of Abigail (Lendvai), Christian, Malcolm & Thomas (Kyne) and Samantha & Tyler (Pang) and great grandfather to 6 little girls.

Mack was the eldest of four and was born in Woodstock, New Brunswick. He is survived by his brothers Donald and Paul Dort and predeceased by his younger sister Joyce Whitton. Mack met and married Joan in Scotland where Lynn and Lesley were born.

He traveled extensively throughout his life and pursued numerous business ventures. He built a successful career in advertising sales and publishing, eventually becoming the owner and publisher of Marketplace Publishers Inc.

Steve and I send all of you our caring thoughts and prayers. Although we didn’t know Mack very long, we certainly enjoyed his sense of humour, and our chats outdoors in our neighbourhood. May the Lord keep you all in His care. Rest easy, Mack️

Today we remember and celebrate the life of a dear friend, Mack Dort. Mack was a person of unwavering kindness, loyalty and a salesman through and through. He was a natural born salesperson, he could sell ice to a Eskimo. He had an unique way of making everyone feel special. Mack we say thanks for all the laughter, the friendship and the countless beautiful moments. You will be missed dearly but never forgotten.

Rest in peace, dear friend until we meet again. You are now with all the Angels.

Much love Ron, Colleen and Family.

I was so saddened to hear just now about Mack, and I send all you my my sincere condolences on your loss. Mack was an incredible individual. I learned so much from him...not just about business, but how to be a caring, compassionate and considerate human being. I had some great talks about Life with Mack. He was open, honest, encouraging....and had a great sense of humor. I enjoyed every opportunity I had with him.

Mack, thank you for everything you did for me......

With blessings to all of you,

Brian
