Malcolm MacGregor

MacGregor, Malcolm, 82, of FL died June 11, of congestive heart failure surrounded by his three daughters. Born in Springfield, MA, he spent most of his career in NY and Pittsburgh, PA. He was an officer in the Navy and a graduate of Middlebury College and Harvard Business School. After marrying the late Diane Mellon in 1958, he moved to Pittsburgh to work for the Mellon Stuart Company. Malcolm then moved to New York and joined NBC as Director of Business affairs in 1964. In 1969, Malcolm returned to Pittsburgh and joined Boyden International, an executive search firm as a Partner and later as President. While in Pittsburgh, he served on the Boards of Pressley Ridge, WQED and the Ellis School. An avid golfer, fly fisherman and gin rummy player, he spent his free time sharing his love of these hobbies with his grandchildren. His friends and family will remember him for his keen intellect, zest for life, rare graciousness, infectious optimism, generosity to others and an enormous sense of humor. Though Malcolm and Diane Stone Mellon divorced in 1990, they remained great friends until her death in 2009. Malcolm is survived by his daughters, Robin and John Parsons (Chicago), Susan and Steve Shaw (Alexandria, VA) and Lindsay MacGregor (Pittsburgh); six grandchildren, Stephen, Malcolm and Armour Shaw; Mac and Charlotte Parsons, and Duncan MacGregor. A private memorial will be held later in the summer. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to The Smile Train, P.O. Box 96231 Washington, DC 20090. Auer Cremation Services of PA., Inc.
