Visit our guestbook through www.koprivataylor.com McALLAN, Reginald George It is w ith profound sadness the family of Reginald George (Reg or RG) McAllan announce his passing at age 91 on June 4, 2017 at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital. The family thanks the nurses and doctors in OTMH on 5C and 3N as well as the outstanding team at Delmanor Oakville, all of whom provided compassionate, attentive care to RG in his final years at Delmanor and tw o weeks at OTMH. 3 O CD Q Q RG was born in Sunbury on Thames, Surrey into a family tha t quickly grew to six children in a 2-up 2-down terrace house. Prior to the outbreak of WW2 RG left school at age 13 and started w ork to help support the family after older brothers enlisted. RG worked in an aircraft factory on the outskirts of London and spoke of cycling to and from the factory during the blitz. He enlisted at 18 and joined RAF Bomber Command motivated by his first hand experiences w ith the blitz, he served in the UK and Far East, but spoke little of his experiences. Following the end of the war, he returned to England and was demobilized, he then joined the P.I.M. Board Ltd (Sundeala) factory where his father had worked. He met the love of his life, Muriel Sutherland, grand niece of the founder, at PIM and they married in 1952. RG left PIM and started at Colley Metals as a scrap metals clerk and retired 41 years later as CFO having applied his inherited Scottish work ethic, studies at night school and determination. During these years RG sailed at Littleton Sailing Club and golfed at Laleham Golf Club and subsequently Northwood Golf Club. RG then embarked upon his second career, moving to Oakville, Canada w ith Muriel upon retiring at 61 and became a significant presence in the lives of his grandchildren. He and Muriel were often to be seen watching skating, hockey, soccer, as well as driving children to innumerable practices and school events. He was delighted when mistaken fo r a parent at an event and became a devotee of Tim Hortons, often seen holding a cup on the sidelines or in the stands. When Muriel passed away in 2000, RG's rugged independence required tha t he learn all the skills required to live independently, he shared baking recipes w ith Kim, learned to do laundry and lived independently fo r 15 years. His sense of humour and quick w it was undiminished by the passage of time. He was a significant, positive influence on his family and we are all the better fo r his examples of determination and caring.
