Yesterday I got a call from Marie Anne MacRae, telling me of our friend Doug MacRae's passing.
As we all know, Doug was a Norton man through and through, and a fast one at that. He loved his bikes, racing, and documenting it all. What many don't know is what a prolific photographer Doug was. He shot of most of our NYC Norton bikes, did a lot of wonderful snaps for Team Obsolete, and shot travel photography all over the world. He was one of my good buds and fierce competitor. He'll be missed.
Here is a post from Marie Anne on Facebook:
It is with immense sadness to announce the passing of my beloved husband, Douglas MacRae on August 24, 2023. He passed away at home, peacefully in my arms. Doug bravely finished his 4.5 year fight with glioblastoma. He was a force of nature. Doug remained positive and courageous to the end. Our family is grateful for all the love and support which he received since he was first diagnosed with this relentless brain cancer and given only one year to live. Doug’s Celebration of Life service will take place on Saturday, September 9 in Toronto with more details to follow.
God Speed, racer
