Law School mourns death of Professor

Emeritus Innis Christie

Faculty and staff of Dalhousie Law School are very sorry to announce the passing Professor Emeritus Innis Christie (LL.B.’62)

Innis MacLeod Christie of Halifax died on the 9th of February at the age of 71.  He was born November 8, 1937 in Amherst, Nova Scotia to the late Alice and Harold Christie. He was a wonderful husband to Jeanne; father to Merran (Steve), Mike (Sally) and Loren (Peter); grandfather to Kit, Liz, Max and Laine. He will be greatly missed by brothers Fred (Carol) and Garth (Carole); sister Clare (Brian); and brother-in-law Bert (Henny). A great pleasure was time at “the Shore” with family and friends. He loved life and had many interests including reading, golf, sailing, bird-hunting, racquet sports and was an avid card player. Bridge and poker games with friends were pastimes he enjoyed even throughout his illness until his sudden hospitalization.  His passion was his work and he considered himself a fortunate man to so enjoy the undertaking that provided his livelihood and always enjoyed the many wonderful people he encountered throughout his career.  As a respected law professor and dean (Dalhousie Law School), author, arbitrator and public servant, his contributions to the legal field were many. A celebration of his life will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, February 14th at the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium (in the Dalhousie Arts Centre) at Dalhousie University.  Donations may be made to Feed Nova Scotia. Family extends special thanks to the V.O.N and the nurses and doctors in the palliative care unit of the Victoria General Hospital.

Geef gij ons de kracht voor de strijd die ons wacht
