In Memoriam

Martin Perantinos ’76 1957–2022

Ben Cooke ’20 just completed a university exchange with Universidad Carlos III de Madrid in Spain.

Connor MacKenzie ’20 has sparked meaningful discussion and change in the hockey community by starting the Lift the Mask on Mental Health campaign. With this campaign, Connor builds awareness, particularly to young athletes, for the importance of mental health. He has already surpassed his initial goal and raised close to $35,000. Next year Connor will be playing hockey for the University of Vermont.

Late last summer, Martin Perantinos passed away, leaving behind his wife, Margey, and their three children. Martin attended Crescent School from Grade 7 and was appointed Prefect of Mackenzie House, a testament to his leadership abilities. Martin was an accomplished athlete, captaining the soccer and basketball teams and winning numerous awards, including Sportsman of the Year for the Senior school. Martin's brother, Paul Perantinos ’78, says that he lived his life with “filotimo,” a Greek word meaning “friend of honour.” He will be forever remembered by his many friends, family and the Crescent community.
