ORLEANS - On Friday, February 12, 2021, Douglas B. MacGregor passed away unexpectedly at his home in Orleans, MA at the age of 68. Doug was a life-long Cape Codder, born on November 9, 1952 being predeceased by both his parents, James and Dorrold (Swift) MacGregor, and his sister, Ardath Reynolds.
Growing up in Brewster, Doug was a graduate of Nauset High School. He worked in the transportation and mechanical fields, later becoming the owner and manager of MacGregor Towing Company in Brewster – a business that allowed him to help others in need. Never a big traveller, he enjoyed his free time on the Cape spending time with his animals and searching for bargains at local yard sales. He will be remembered as a caring, honest person and steadfast friend, always willing to take the time for a good conversation. Doug will be missed.
Doug is survived by his brother, Bruce MacGregor, sister-in-law, Karen O’Connor, and a number of nieces and nephews. A private service and burial will be held at a later date.
