Alpin MacGregor
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Alpin MacGregor surrounded by family at Cornwall Hospice on Tuesday, February 12, 2019. Alpin was born on July 31, 1942 to Mora (MacLeod) and Alpin Angus MacGregor. He lived his entire life on the family farm north of Williamstown, Ontario. Alpin was a cherished brother to Malcolm MacGregor (Heather), his twin Christena Dunbar (John), and the late Jean Canham (Earl). He was also a beloved uncle to many nephews and nieces who have fond memories and funny stories from their time with him on the farm. He was a loving and devoted husband to Sharon (MacNaughton), his wife of 39 years, and a fun-loving, supportive father to Karen (Joe Roberts), Mary (Doug Richardson), and Scott (Dina Predestin). Alpin was also a proud grandfather to: Jasmine, D’Andre, Shawn, Jack, and Brynn, who always brought a smile to his face. His quick-witted sense of humour, thoughtful advice, and unwavering positive outlook will be hard to live without. Alpin loved his community and found many ways to give back.
