Robert James MacGregor
Saturday, September 22, 2012. Passed away in Atlanta, GA at age 89. The son of Carol and Helen Hewett Macgregor, he was born in Lansing, MI and spent most of his childhood in Urbana, OH.
He began his college studies at Syracuse University and transferred to George Washington University where he met his first wife Sue Spearman of Washington, DC. His college studies were interrupted by WWII, when the Navy sent him to officer training school at Dartmouth and Harvard. He served as a supply officer aboard a destroyer escort in the South Pacific. He graduated from George Washington University after the war, and worked briefly as a White House correspondent for a radio station in Baltimore; then joined the Home Life Insurance Company as an estate planner for the remainder of his career. Jim was an active participant in many organizations. During college he was a member of the Sigma Nu fraternity. He was an Eagle Scout and later served as Scout Master of Troup 923 in Bethesda, MD.

He retired to Winchester, VA in the mid 1980's with his wife Sue where they were active in many local organizations and events. They celebrated their 50th anniversary just prior to her death in 1994. Two years later, he married Martha Clevenger, where they continued to participate in the Winchester community until her death in 2011. He then moved to an assisted living residence in Atlanta to be closer to family.
