MACGREGOR-BROWN, James - Feb. 1936 - Jan. 2018 Peacefully in his sleep at the Brantford General Hospital on January 4th, 2018 in his 82nd year. Beloved son of the late Mary (nee Gardener) and Robert Brown; dear brother of Janet Finnessey of Nuneaton, England. James was born in Glasgow, Scotland and educated in Scotland and France. James taught Modern Languages at Pauline Johnson Collegiate from 1968 until his retirement. Jim was a world traveller, often with his sister. He will be dearly missed by many friends and former students. Funeral arrangements entrusted to McCLEISTER FUNERAL HOME . Cremation has taken place. www.mccleisterfuneralhome.ca

As a former student of his, I can add that he had a double M.A. in French and German.

I have a photo of him but I don’t think your site has a place for images.

I added the obituary to James McGregor-Brown’s database page (the “Extra Info” tab). Thank you for that! I also added the years of his birth and death to the database for completeness.

We can put up images although it’s happening much more rarely than it should. If you have a picture I’d be happy to add that.

Anselm, could you please describe how pictures should be added?

Cheers, Heiko
