A donation has been made to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada. Message from the donator: In the memory of a great man... Bob MacDonald was one of a kind and a man that would give you the shirt off his back... Our thoughts are with Mary & the family

~ Brett Lucier

Aunt Mary, cousins Kate, Rob and Stan.... Uncle Bob was my role model growing up, whenever I was in trouble at home Mom would take me to see Bob for a pep talk. I will always cherish those times we had talking about life and to not take everything so seriously, about growing up, laughing until we cried. I know he is in a better place now, free from the pain he had been going through for a while now. I will miss him deeply. Love you guys, Love you Uncle Bob! Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind Possessing and caressing me

~ Darrell Ireland

To Mary and the kids, We are crushed right now but things will get better in time . I loved him and will miss him like mad.He watched how our mother struggle with that disease and I would not wish to see Bob go through that either. Thank you Mary for all the love and support you gave my brother right till the end. Too young but we will all see you on the other side Bob. Rest easy Bobby.Love always your sister

~ Ruth Ireland

Dear Mary and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I have very fond memories of Bob and I always enjoyed it when we had a chat. He was just so very open and friendly.

~ Roman Balicki

When I told co- workers of our family loss everyone said that Bob sounded like a really nice guy.Yeah, I said, he was a really “good guy”. Our Bob was always there to lend a hand when it was needed. The fence that we built together for Babcia and Dziadzia many many years ago will not last forever but my love and respect for Bob will. The only dirt I can dish on Bob was that he was a huge Oakland Raiders fan! Can’t win em all……..”good guys” don’t come along all the time. My brother-in-law was a “good guy”……i will miss him greatly, thankful our paths crossed.

~ Stan Sawicki

So very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. He will be remembered with great fondness.
