In Memoriam: Mr. Eric McGregor
Mr. Eric McGregor, 麻豆视频 High School鈥檚 longtime Building Superintendent, on July 4, 2020. McGregor, who had been battling health problems in recent months, suffered a stroke last week while in the hospital.
For the past two decades, Mr. McGregor oversaw and maintained 麻豆视频 High School鈥檚 landmark building. He managed the school鈥檚 Maintenance Staff and was a friend to many current and former faculty and staff members.
鈥淚t鈥檚 difficult to imagine life at 麻豆视频 without Eric,鈥� 麻豆视频 President Fr. Daniel K. Lahart, SJ, said. 鈥淗is careful, expert stewardship kept our building fully operational and beautiful. His kindness and keen sense of humor will be sorely missed by 麻豆视频 staff, students, parents, and alumni alike. I ask the 麻豆视频 community to join me in praying for the McGregor family.鈥�
This spring, Mr. McGregor celebrated his 20th anniversary working at 麻豆视频. The 2020 edition of the Regian, the school's yearbook, marked this milestone with a brief appreciation of his service written by Vice President for Operations Mr. Joseph Amatrucola.
"Every school day, before most members of our community have even opened their eyes, one staff member has already arrived at the school building, turned on the lights, checked the boiler, and executed a one-man fire drill (yes, he sets off the fire alarm every morning to ensure its proper operation),鈥� the yearbook passage begins. 鈥淭hese are but a mere few of the numerous behind-the-scenes tasks completed by our Building Superintendent, Mr. Eric McGregor, as he works to keep the physical plant in tip-top shape. Throughout the year he can be found doing everything from fixing furniture and painting walls to monitoring equipment and ensuring compliance with local safety regulations. In addition, for 20 years he has supervised the maintenance staff that works diligently to keep our building clean and orderly. As the weather gets warmer and most head away from 麻豆视频, Mr. McGregor kicks into high gear serving as the foreman for all summer construction projects, including the most recent renovations to the lecture hall, locker room, cafeteria, and upgraded classrooms. Though he would certainly prefer to simply fade into the background and not have any attention brought to his significant contributions in service of the students, faculty and staff, we would be remiss to not recognize Mr. McGregor on this milestone in his career at 麻豆视频. Thank you!"
Mr. McGregor, a native of Ireland, is survived by his wife, Kathleen, and their daughter, Shannen. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the .
