Predeceased by first wife and mother of his four daughters, Janet MacDonald (nee Fiander), parents Norman and Amelia MacDonald, sister Alva, brother Hayward, brothers-in law Johnny Cutler and Lawrence Keeping, sister-in-law Josephine.

He had a lifelong passion for spending his time on the water with family and friends while piloting his boat, the Cowaanju, around Conception Bay. As an instructor with the Avalon Power and Sail Squadron, he touched the lives of many. As well, his love of music and dancing was a joy to behold and he never missed a step whether it was square dancing or two-stepping. He will be deeply missed.
