Today is the 23rd anniversary of Alister’s passing. I’d like to take this time to thank the folks that have been instrumental in the success of the Major Alister C. McGregor Memorial Foundation and keeping Al in our hearts and minds. First and foremost, the McGregor Board of Directors would like to thank all our sponsor, donors and participants, who over the past 23 years have been responsible for funding the McGregor Endowment at Roger Williams University, the McGregor Scholarships and Children’s Charities which have funded programs and projects that invest in our youth. Recipients have been Blackstone Valley Family Services, Make a Wish Foundation, the Special Olympics, the Open Doors Project, the Playground Initiative and many more.

I would like to thank the other members of the Board of Directors: Andrew Berg, Esq., Captain Thomas Rush, Lt. Darren Ellinwood, Captain James Nelson, Sgt. Kenneth Luke, Sgt. Todd Poland, Det. Cpl. Kevin Feeney, Paul Feeney with a special thanks to our Tournament Director Stacy Feeney, and Lt. Cliff McGregor. We would also like to thank the businesses that have helped us run our business: Feeney & Pinkerton LLC (accounting), Sammartino & Berg LLP (legal), Smithfield WebWorks (web management), East Providence Mail & Freight (shipping and receiving), Graphic Ink (graphics and merchandise), Silva Advertising (promotions and merchandise) and Signs of the Times (printing and promotions), and a special thank you to our volunteers, Nicole, Alyssa, Stephanie, Lori Ann, and Kathy. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication over the past 23 years.

Thank you to all who have gathered in the past, as they are gathering today, to celebrate the life of a friend, son, brother, father, husband, Air Force veteran and police captain, Alister Crawford McGregor. May your dreams live on as you rest in peace.

We’d also like to take this opportunity to announce that the 24th Annual Major Alister C. McGregor Memorial Golf Tournament will be held on Monday, September 8th, 2025 at Crestwood Country Club in Rehoboth Mass. Registration notices will be sent out at a later date.

Finally, if anyone would like to make a tax deductible donation to the McGregor Fund, a 401(c) (3), you can send your donation to:

The McGregor Fund

East Providence, RI 02914

Again, thank you all for your generosity, caring, participation and love over these many years.

Respectfully,
Walter Barlow
