We regret to announce the death of Sergeant John William Bryden "Sam" McGhee (Ret’d) at the North Bay Regional Health Center on 21 November 2012.

Sam was a 23-year veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces, serving first as an Air Boson in the Royal Canadian Navy and then later as a Firefighter in the Royal Canadian Air Force. He then worked in the Transit Department of the City of North Bay and then with Public Works. Sam was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #23, the Nipissing Masonic Lodge #420, the Rorab Shrine Club and was the host every Wednesday and Friday of the Gordon Drive Shedites commonly referred to as Branch 23 and a Half.

Two Memorial Services will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #23 on Friday, 30 November and all are welcome. The Masonic Service will be at 1:00 PM followed by the Legion Service at 1:30 PM. Fellowship and refreshments to follow. A gathering will occur later on Friday at the Legion for all Sam's friends to enjoy one last Meat Draw and remember his Life in a way in which Sam would have appreciated. If desired, donations to War Amps of Canada would be appreciated.
