Mike and Sue Chadwick Claudia and Family, so sorry to hear of Dave’s passing. We worked with Dave at SPD for many years and Dave was Mike’s first Staff Sergeant on 3 Platoon. He was a great guy who always had our backs and a great investigator who always gave it his all.

Penny Barner Sending my sincere condolences to the family and friends of David McGregor. I’m happy to have had a chance to meet him through his grandson, Michael McGregor. Rest in peace.
I’m so very sorry for your loss Aunty Claudia and family. I remember when Uncle Dave used to be undercover in downtown Victoria and Mom always said that we were not to talk to Uncle Dave if we were ever to run in to him. One time we saw him and he actually came up to us, all dressed as a homeless person, and talked to us very briefly. May Uncle Dave rest in peace.
