John McMillan was a popular business owner in Aldergrove, sadly both of his buildings are long gone. His first store location was sandwiched between what is now the car wash and the parking lot for the Telus substation. His second store was just to the east of the Elk's Hall, many of you will remember it as the location of the OK Corral convenience store which burned down a number of years ago.

John was also a member of the Aldergrove Volunteer Fire Department and the Chamber of Commerce as well as other community groups. While his house address was on what is now Fraser Highway, it was actually behind Doc Findlay's Medical Clinic and accessed off the alley. If you look at the photo in the post about Doc Findlay, you'll see the corner of John's house in the background.
