DBC is saddened to hear of the loss of John MacGregor, husband of Kim Tompkins-MacGregor. We were lucky to have Kim as our Starter at the 2008 National Championships; many of you made her acquaintance at that time. Please find below the notice of information sent from Water's Edge: We wish to extend our deep and heartfelt sympathy to Kim Tompkins-MacGregor and her daughter Samantha on the tragic loss of a husband and father. We are shocked to hear of John's sudden death and our thoughts and prayers go out to Kim and Samantha during this difficult time. As many of you know, Kim is a long time member of the Water's Edge Event Management staff team - many of you know her as Madam Starter, famous for her amazing starts and calming voice at Dragon Boat Festivals. Every member of the Water's Edge Staff Team is an extension of our family and as Kim and Samantha grieve, we grieve with them. Kim, Samantha ...our hearts go out to you and your loved ones. Please find attached a notice of the upcoming celebration of John Angus MacGregor.

He is lovingly remembered by his wife of 20 years Kim and their daughter Samantha. He is also remembered by his brothers Stuart (Kathlyn) and Neil; nephews Christopher, Jeffrey and Patrick, niece Lisa, many relatives and many, many good friends. John will be remembered for putting his family first, then friends and then his work. He would drop everything to go for a ride. His passion and commitment to the AA program impacted countless lives.
