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:

MacGregor, John “Angus”; born September 15, 1948 was taken away from us suddenly on September 13, 2009. 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. We often heard John say “Suns out, time to go for a ride.” A Celebration of John’s Life will be held on Sunday, September 20, 2009 at 1:00 pm at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre 14831 – 28th Avenue, Surrey, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Red Cross Equipment Loaner Program.
