     Hundreds of people (possibly 1,000) attended the memorial service at Central Congregational Church at noon on Monday. Notables present were the Rhode Island Governer, Mayor of Providence and members of Rhode Island State Judiciary. There were also Honor Guards from both the Rhode Island State and Providence City police departments inside, as well as mounted police outside the church. Family, friends and colleagues came from all over.
It took at least two hours for those in attendence to file through the receiving line in the church parish hall.
     Judge Mackenzie was born in Chelsea, MA, on June 16, 1909, but his parents, the late George M. and Willhelmina (Allan) Mackenzie, moved to Central Falls when he was six months old. His father established a rayon dye plant in Central Falls which prospered several years before its demise in the Depression.
Judge Mackenzie graduated from high school in Central Falls and worked his way through college and law school in a post office, freight yard and laundry service, and as a chauffeur, college chapel monitor and eating club manager. He received a bachelor’s degree from Brown University in 1931 and a law degree from Harvard Law School in 1934. That same year he was admitted to the state bar. He didn’t have to wait long to get his first test as a judge - exactly eight weeks. He was only 25.
'The Depression was still on,' he once recalled during an interview. 'I had my shingle up for only a few weeks. There I sat in my office reading law books and not one client in sight. Then the phone rang and somebody asked me if I’d like to be probate judge of Central Falls. To say I was surprised is to put it mildly but I’ll tell you I wasted no time accepting.' He served as probate judge from 1935 to 1937, his general law practice growing all the while. From 1943 to 1946 he served as a lieutenant in the Navy, finally settling into the rather demanding position of convoy and routing officer for the port director in New Guinea and Borneo. While in the Pacific Theater he learned to speak Malay. His once-red hair turned white when he was 36, and his bushy white eyebrows furrowed behind wire-rimmed glasses gave him a grandfatherly appearance long before he became a judge.
     Judge Mackenzie, a dapper man with a dry sense of humor, spent the last 17 of his 24 years on the bench presiding exclusively over criminal cases. For 14 of those years, 1965-1979, he was chief of the criminal calendar of the Superior Court for Providence and Bristol Counties.
'I’m very easily satisfied with perfection,' was one of his favorite sayings. A person of somewhat aloof bearing, Judge Mackenzie always presided with poise and rarely showed emotion, even when he was occasionally denounced by someone he had sentenced. On many occasions he broke high courtroom tension with witty remarks. He liked funny stories and told them well.
The judge had a variety of interests outside his profession, among them the theater, music, literature, the stock market and travel. His interest in the theater was sharpened when his only child, Will, became a successful professional Broadway and Hollywood actor and television director.
     Judge Mackenzie was an engaging figure in social and legal circles. His white mustache was always neatly trimmed and his stylish suits always fitting just right. He said his wife of 60 years agreed to go out with him on a blind date because 'I was a good dancer.'
     He was practicing in the firm of Goodman, Mackenzie, Gorin and Blease inPawtucket when he was named to the Superior Court Bench in 1959, by Governor Christopher Del Sesto, a fellow Republican.
Although Mackenzie then had a reputation as an outstanding lawyer, his appointment surprised him and most politicians. He had not sought it, and had paid little attention to politics in general. 'All of the big things that have happened in my life have all dropped in my lap,' he told a reporter. 'I never expected to be a judge. You know, I never asked anyone.'
When DelSesto first approached him about the Superior Court judgeship, he said he wasn’t interested. 'I never had any desire to be a judge,' he said. 'I had a good life, a good law practice. I didn’t know whether I’d like being a judge. It was quite a reduction in income to take thejob.' 'However,' he said, he 'never regretted' his decision to don the black robes of the judiciary 'because it’s been a very interesting live.' During his tenure on the bench, he presided overtrials including organized-crime figures, insanity defenses and police corruption. In the months just before his retirement, two Providence policemen were convicted in his courtroom of criminal negligence in the death of a drunk. In that case, Judge Mackenzie, for the first time in Rhode Island history, allowed voiceprint evidence to be presented by the prosecution.
One of his civil cases, which involved some allegedly 'dirtybooks' that a state commission was trying to ban, went all the way to theU.S. Supreme Court, which upheld a decision he made in the 1960’s. Judge Mackenzie ruled that the actions of the Rhode Island Commission to Encourage Morality in Youth were an unconstitutional invasion on FirstAmendment freedoms. The Rhode Island Supreme Court disagreed, but the nation’s high court reversed the decision and ruled that Judge Mackenzie was right.
Lawyers, spectators, and some defendants considered him a tough but fair jurist, who always did his homework and studied hard to keep up with changes in the law.
In recent years, as judicial scandals rocked the state, the retired judge was an outspoken advocate for changing the way judges were selected in Rhode Island. In 1994, Common Cause of Rhode Island gave him a citation for being a courageous lobbyist for judicial reform, noting Judge Mackenzie’s 35-year-history of pressing for a system of merit of selection for judges. He was one of the founding trustees of the Trinity Square Repertory Theater and years ago, acted with his wife, the former Louise Barr, in the Pawtucket Community Players. He also enjoyed wrestling with Scott Joplin on the piano at his East Side home.
A member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, Judge Mackenziewas also a member of the Agawam Hunt, the University Club, the English-speaking Union and the Board of Deacons at the Central Congregational Church. He also served for many years as a trustee of the Pawtucket Boys Club and the Pawtucket Congregational Church. In addition to his home at Medway Place in Providence, Judge Mackenzie owned homes in Little Compton and on the Isle of Springs in Maine.
Although he never lived in Lincoln, Judge Mackenzie was appointed town solicitor there from 1952 to 1955. He ran unsuccessfully for Central Falls School Committee in a nonpartisan election in 1938. 'I was soundly defeated by a bus driver,' he recalled. Four years later, he lost out in his bid for the state Senate on the Republican ticket from Central Falls. Name variation: Judge MacKenzie.
