We are devastated to announce the passing of our dear husband, father, son and friend, Liam John MacDonald age 66, on Saturday, Dec. 19, 2015, at his home surrounded by his loving family.
Born in Sydney Mines, Liam is a son of Rosella (Bennett) MacDonald a resident of the Northside Community Guest Home and of the late John MacDonald.
During his youth, Liam played the trumpet for the Sydney Mines Legion Centennial Band. He attended Saint Mary’s University in Halifax and St. Francis Xavier Junior College in Sydney. Liam was employed with Marine Atlantic, retiring in 2011 after 40 years of service. Liam was a member of the Royal Albert Masonic Lodge # 19, a member of AASR Valley of Sydney and AASR Valley of Halifax.
Throughout his life Liam enjoyed landscaping, gardening, decorating for the holidays and caring for his loved ones. Liam was most happy when he was 'puttering around' outside and when he was with those whom he loved.
Besides his mother, Liam is survived by his loving wife Marilyn (Myler); his two daughters Keary (Judd MacLeod), North Sydney and Leia (Nathaniel) Venedam, New Glasgow and by his grandson (his pride and joy) Maveric. He will also be missed by his furry feline Taia.
