It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Glen William MacDonald of Sydney, passing away Saturday, December 9, 2017 after a courageous battle with cancer.
Born in Glace Bay, he was the son of the late Ralph and Eunice (Stubbard) MacDonald. He grew up in New Waterford, moving to Antigonish, NS at age of 12.

He was a long-time member of Sydney Y’s Men Club and loved volunteering for Christmas Cheer with his family every year. He was also an avid gardener and baker. His girls’ favorite were his famous chocolate chip cookies! Glen really enjoyed spending time with family and friends, sharing his latest culinary creations.
