In 1984 John was certified by the American Board of Certification in Orthotists and Prosthetists. At only 23 years of age, he was the youngest certified member in the history by that Board. John served amputees as a prosthetist in Toledo, Ohio, St. Louis, Missouri, Paris, Texas and Dallas, Texas for over 35 years. 31 of those years were served at Hanger Clinic. John had a passion for treating patients and changed the lives of so many amputees after some of their most traumatic losses in their lives.

Throughout John’s entire life, he was active in Freemasonry. He served as the first twice Past Master of R.C. Buckner Lodge in Dallas, and a 32 Degree Knight Commander of the Court of Honor in the Dallas Scottish Rite.

Garrett Commandery Knights Templar, and also a Shriner through Hella Shrine Temple in Garland, Texas.

John loved to share time with his three granddaughters at the pool and watched them dance in many recitals. He was well known for his goofy antics and loved making those around him laugh. John was also a member of Saint Rose Catholic Church in Perrysburg, Ohio.

John is survived by his brothers Tim (Marcy) MacGregor and Greg MacGregor; his son John Joseph (Cori) MacGregor III; and grandchildren Evelyn, Fiona, and Temperance MacGregor. John is preceded in death by his mother Carolle Marie DeLorge MacGregor and his father John Joseph MacGregor.
