In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
MacAULAY, John - It is with great sorrow that we announce Dad's passing. Pre-deceased by his sweetheart Elsie, he is greatly missed by his children John (Lorraine), Marilyn Maggiora, Leslie O'Shea (Dan), Bruce (Ros). Blessed with 9 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. Dad was born and raised in West Vancouver playing most sports, taught basketball and excelled in track. He joined the Navy in 1944 and served in the South Pacific. Dad brought the family to the Island a couple of years later and opened Island View Freezer which he owned and operated for over 40 years. Dad was a 4-H leader and supported the members by buying their animals at the PNE and Saanich Fair. He gave generously of his time to many community organizations but his passion was Rotary. He was a member for over 50 years achieving the role of District Governor in '96/'97. A Life member of the Victoria Chrysanthemum Society, he loved to travel, golf, play bridge and garden. Dad was a great friend, teacher, mentor and a loving Dad/Grandad and will be missed by all that knew him. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. (The Victoria Times Colonist 12 Apr 2025)
