It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of Alan Andrew Macpherson.
Born in Clare, Northern Ireland, August 31, 1929, died January 11, 2024 in Sechelt as a result of a tragic traffic accident.
Alan was predeceased by his wife, Marie, son Ian, granddaughters, Bella and Keara, and his grandson Jordan. Alan is mourned by his three daughters, Janette (David), Alison and Gillian, eight grandchildren, five great-grandsons, family in Northern Ireland and Canada.
Alan touched everybody with his friendly, open personality. He was a great storyteller and read constantly. He was a man for all seasons, knowledgeable about world affairs, up close and personal when in your presence, and a lover of poetry, people, dogs and kids. His sense of humour and memory for quotations kept one always engaged.
The family would like to thank the first responders, the staff in the E.R. and Dr. John Hourigan for their excellent care.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Vancouver Children’s Hospital or the Sechelt Hospital Foundation are appreciated.
A wake will be held at a later date.
