Dad passed away the morning of April 3, 2015 at Victoria General Hospital. Dad was born in Fort Frances, ON. He was predeceased by his parents Grace Etta and Malcolm Norman McGregor, and his brother Ronald Allan McGregor. He attended Ryerson Polytechnic Institute in Toronto, where he received a Photography diploma, then moved to Winnipeg, where he met Joan Alice Crealock. They married in 1959 and had nearly 56 wonderful years together. He had two children, Janet and Kevin, and two grandchildren, Jason and Rebecca. He had a lifelong love of his family, photography, travel and his beloved "Brown Castle" cottage on Rainy Lake, ON. Thank you to the wonderful staff at Victoria General Hospital for their professionalism, empathy and support. We also thank the minister and support staff at Immanuel United Church and of course friends and family who have helped us through this difficult time.

I was so sorry to hear from cousin Joyce that Ken had died. Johnny and I always looked forward to your Christmas letter and family photo. Through Ken's great photography we watched your family grow up. And always his cheery smile when we got together, in Winnipeg or here in Ottawa. - Posted by: Arlene Neilson (cousin of Joan's) on: Apr 14, 2015

Joan and family we are so sorry for your loss. Ken did a great job on the hospital visiting committee for Myasthenia Gravis Support Group and shared a wealth of information with the support group. Ken provided the support group encouragement, dedication and always provided a positive attitude and a huge smile, which we will miss dearly. - Posted by: Myasthenia Gravis Manitoba Inc.

We all remember Ken with such fondness because he recorded our lives with such precision and artistry in his photography. He seemed to take such joy in doing it and always gave us memories to keep and share with our families.Nowadays everyone takes so many pics with their many devices,but none will ever be as professional and meaningful as the ones Ken took because he was one of us not just a casual observer. My sincere sympathy to you, Joan and all your family. Ken will be long remembered.
