JOHN MacFARLANE
July 03, 2004
JOHN DOUGLAS MacFARLANE 1920 - 2004 On Monday, June 28, 2004, Douglas MacFarlane passed quietly away at the age of 83 years. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 55 years, Dorothy; son Keith (Nila); daughter Audrey Owens (Thompson); and grandchildren, Laurel and Graham MacFarlane and Kyle and Neil Owens. Doug was predeceased by his son Lorne in 1959. Douglas faced life's challenges with unwavering integrity, humility, and quiet courage. He was an intensely rational man who enjoyed treating experiences as complex puzzles whether it be a Saturday crossword or a financial prospectus. Doug was assiduous in matters of finance, but generous in spirit. In December 2002 Doug and Dorothy took all three generations of the family to Hawaii, including Nila's mother Bernice Dennis. Doug was a man of simple pleasures: serving on church committees, curling, playing bridge, searching for blueberries in the woods by his cottage, and travelling. He and Dorothy saw much of the world in the years after his retirement. Doug's life was fulfilled by Dorothy. They were companions in life and love. It was because of Dorothy's unselfish and sustained care that Doug was able to enjoy quality of life in his last few years. Soft spoken and mild mannered, Doug was a man of uncommon courage. During the war he was wounded while a gun position officer in the Royal Canadian Artillery 2nd Division. Later, as a forward observation officer, he received the Military Cross for courage under fire. In peacetime he became a Chemistry teacher, and later principal of Sisler High School before retiring in 1979. Doug was a magnificent grandfather to Laurel, Graham, Kyle, and Neil. Doug and Dorothy took all four of them to Normandy for the 50th anniversary of the D-Day invasion in 1994. Doug took interest in their activities, pride in their achievements, and often expressed wondrous awe at each of their talents. Above all else, Doug was a good man. His life will provide happy memories and inspiration for his family in the years ahead. A service celebrating Doug's life will be held at Churchill Park United Church, 525 Beresford Ave. on Wednesday, July 7, at 2:00 p.m. Flowers are gratefully declined. Should friends desire, donations may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association or a charity of their choice.

He was predeceased by his wife of over 50 years Carlotta; and by his parents, Lydia and Sandor; and stepmother Julia. Jim was born in Mosomagyar Var, Hungary and despite life's adversities including the Depression, Second World War and experiencing hardships as a POW, he prevailed with an optimistic view of life. He came to Winnipeg in 1957, and worked as a house painter, in upholstery and finally worked at Health Sciences Centre D2 for 19 years, before he retired. He was a humble, gentle person who enjoyed the classics, especially Strauss. He loved to dance, (his specialty was the Waltz) and was active in the Hungarian community plays. He was a creative craftsman and loved spending time playing Canasta at the cottage. He enjoyed nature and was faithful in feeding the birds and squirrels. It was always a priority to put his family first and thus will be fondly remembered and greatly missed by his daughter Anna Kovacs; grandchildren, Chris Marton, Melissa (Mark) Toews; and his brother Nandor Marton. Thanks to WRHA home care, Armando, Sylvia and Hope for your special care. Dr. Rubinger (Cancer Care), James and the staff at Riverview 3 East wing. A private family memorial service will be held.

WILLIAM MCGREGOR
July 03, 2004
REVEREND CANON WILLIAM MCGREGOR 1918-2004 Born in Dublin, Ireland and died peacefully on his birthday, at sunrise, June 27. Survived by Dorothy, his love and wife of 58 years, five children and spouses, 13 grandchildren, and 1 great-grandson: daughters, Wenonah Moore (Doug), Dorothy Mash (John), Ailsa Lauder (Drew); sons, Bill (Joanne), and Rob (Lorraine); grandchildren, Cara (Andrew), Ryan (Helen), Cristy (Matt), Adam, Duncan, Carley, Shawn, Martin (Susan), Troy, Cole, Kian, Kristopher, Nathalie; and great-grandson Royce. Bill and Dorothy came with their first two daughters to Canada in 1950 to the Anglican Diocese of Saskatchewan, parish of All Saints in Leask, SK. (1950-55). In his ministry he served the parishes of Holy Trinity, Meadow Lake (1955-57), St. Paul's, North Battleford, SK. (1957-68), St. Saviour's, Winnipeg, MB. (1968-75), and Holy Trinity, Winnipeg (1975-84), from where he retired.. Many parishes had neighbouring churches under the same parishes, and Bill was Rural Dean in the Diocese of Saskatoon. After retirement, Bill did summer and interim work at many parishes in the Diocese of Rupertsland, was an active member of St. Aidan's, Winnipeg; St. Paul's, Yuma, Az.; Villa Alameda, Yuma, Az; and Holy Trinity, White Rock, B.C. Bill was ordained deacon in 1951, priested in 1952, and graduated from Emmanuel College, Saskatoon (S. Th.) He was a teacher in Ireland and both his teaching and his quest for learning continued throughout his life. He was extraordinarily well-read and found inspiration for his sermons in poetry, in people, and in God's world around him. He took many courses over the years, and he in turn gave back his knowledge. He returned part-time to University (St. John's College, Winnipeg) when his children were there, and after retirement took diverse subjects at the Extension Division, University of Arizona. He shared the goodness he found in God's creations in his ministry in the church and in his life, leading trips to the Holy Land, exploring North America with his family, Europe and Hong Kong with his wife, explaining desert life on walks in Arizona, the night sky everywhere he travelled, and sealife off the pier on his daily walks on the seawall in White Rock. Many people will remember his sermons, his eloquence, and his absolute faith. Some sought him out years later to let him know how he had touched their lives. And in later years, the stones he collected and polished, and then gave away as gifts with a message for us all. Bill's family would like to add to his thanks to Doctors Ursula Lee, Spangehl, and Claybeck for their care and support. Thank you also to the treatment teams in three Medical, Emergency, and Palliative Care Units at Peace Arch Hospital, White Rock, for their gentle and personal care. The family gratefully declines flowers. If you so desire, a donation could be made to the Primate's World Relief and Development Fund, in care of Holy Trinity Church, White Rock; the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, 4050 Graveley, Burnaby, or the Palliative Care Unit of Peace Arch Hospital. A celebration of Bill's life to take place on Wednesday, 30 June, 2:00 p.m. at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, White Rock, the Rev. Neil Gray officiating.
