Robert Sinclair MacPherson

He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Carol (nee Kennett), his son Christopher, two granddaughters, Taylor and Alexandra, and an extended clan of MacPherson, Dix, McDonald, Stoker and Sloan related family members, and longtime, good friend Jim. Robby was predeceased by his son, Robby Jr., in 1995, his mother Wendy McDonald in 2012 and father Robert MacPherson.

Robby was dedicated to the success of his family through his lifetime of work at B.C. Bearings Engineers Ltd. where he became President and CEO in 1988 and later Chairman of the Board of Directors. B.C. Bearings was the MacPherson family owned international industrial distribution company which grew to become B.C.B. Corporate Services Ltd. for Norcan Fluid Power Ltd. and B.C. Bearing Chile S.A. This company was recognized as one of the top 50 best managed private companies in Canada.

During his long and challenging but very successful business career, Robby still took the time to enjoy watching all sports, golfing, and boating at his family summer home in Halfmoon Bay, Sechelt along with winters in Palm Springs.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the B.C. Cancer Agency would be appreciated.
