Don 'E' MacDonald passed away peacefully on Tuesday, Nov.2, 2010 at Ridgewood veterans wing in Saint John, N.B., surrounded by family.
Born in Glace Bay, N.S. on Oct. 29, 1912, Don was the son of John Edward and Catherine (MacKinnon) MacDonald.
Don was predeceased by brothers, Archibald, Russell, Delbert and sisters, Lillian (Alex McLennan) and Margaret (Mack King).
Don is survived by his loving wife, May (Dawson); daughters, Elizabeth (Dr. Tony Wade), Bathurst, Wendy (Bruce Phillips), Saint John; sons, Bill (wife Judy), Dartmouth, Jim (wife Anne), New Glasgow; 14 grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
Don served in the Royal Canadian Navy from June 1942 until his discharge in December 1945, aboard seven ships mainly in the North Atlantic Theatre. After serving his country, Don returned to the S & L Railway (later Cumberland and Devco Railway) where he retired at the age of 65 in 1977.
His love was family and he always placed his family first. He was a devoted husband to his wife of 64 years. He loved hockey; an avid player (eight years with the British Consols in Glace Bay) and follower of his favourite NHL teams. His favourite pastime was writing letters to family and friends. All who knew Don will miss his inner strength, compassionate quiet demeanour, his positive outlook and encouraging words.
A short service will be held for family with no visitations or funeral services. Cremation has taken place and interment will take place at the Greenwood Cemetery in Glace Bay at a future date.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to any charity.
"I know who holds tomorrow."
