I met Mr. McDonald at the Arboretum in Winnie. He and my dad would sit together at all the meals. When I was there visiting his face would light up. My dad was hard of hearing but some how they would communicate. I'm sorry for your family's loss. You couldn't find a nicer man.

Leslie Broom May 28, 2020

Dear Teddy, Sorry for your loss old friend. I will never forget listening to the "Who" in your bedroom as loud as your stereo would play while he would be sitting in a chair in the other room. It was with your dad that I learned to communicate with people who cannot hear. 93 years is one heck of a life span. I know he will be missed. Your friend always, Leslie Broom

Dear Gary and Ted, all of my love and prayers are with you and the family as you celebrate the life of your wonderful father. For as long as I remember, he always had a smile and made me laugh each time I would see him. Our last visit with him was wonderful, as always, he had that smile and that wicked sense of humor going full tilt. May he fly home on the wings of angels. RIP Uncle Harry. Brenda McDonald
