FRANCIS (FRANK) DAVID MacGREGOR With great sorrow, we announce that on September 4, 2004, Francis (Frank) David MacGregor passed away peacefully at Peach Arch Hospital. He is survived by Vivian, his wife of over 60 years; and his three children and their spouses, Gary and Linda, Chris and Liz, and May Jean and Kevin. Frank was born on May 20, 1920, in Winnipeg, MB. It was there that he met and married the first and only love of his life, Eva Vivian Akins. Frank enlisted into the Canadian Army Pay Corp at the age of 19 where he rose to the rank of Captain. During his 25 year tour of service, he travelled extensively throughout Canada and Europe. After retiring from the service, Frank went on to work for the real estate firm of Akins and Wallace. Upon completion of night school, he received his certification from the Appraisal Institute of Canada and began work as an appraiser for the Province of Manitoba. In 1979, he and Vivian moved to Tsawwassen where they could be closer to family. Frank was an avid gardener and was renowned for his beefsteak tomatoes. He loved to play golf and for many years belonged to the Breezy Bend Golf Club in Winnipeg and to the Beach Grove Golf Club in South Delta. Frank was the original Mr. Fixit. He spent countless hours helping his family and his many friends with their home projects. Frank shared in the enjoyment of watching his grandchildren grow up and marry - Andrea to Trevor and Steven to Cherise. He was a devoted great-grandfather to Roshod, Dominic, Cameron, Mackenzie, and Kayla. He thought himself a truly blessed man. His family held a sharing of loving memories on Tuesday, September 7, at Victory Memorial Park Cemetery in White Rock. In lieu of flowers, kindly make a donation to the charity of your choice.
