John passed away peacefully at home on Monday, December 13, 2021. Beloved husband of Sybil McDonald (nee Slater) for over 70 years, who predeceased him in 2017. Loving father of Scott McDonald (Catherine), Kim McDonald-Taylor (Stan) and cherished grandpa of Charlotte, Rebecca (Andrew), Ian and Natalie.
John was born July 2, 1926, in Wabash Ontario to Angus Malcolm McDonald and Euphemia Anne (nee Thomson). He was the consummate salesman running his own business Le Sport for many years. In keeping with John’s wishes, cremation has taken place and he rests with Sybil at Innisvale Cemetery’s Columbarium. A Celebration of Life will occur in the summer of 2022 when it is safe to gather. As an expression of sympathy, memorial donations can be made to your local Animal Shelter where John obtained many of his loving pets.

Posted on: Sunday, December 19, 2021Our entire family has lost a great patriarch but Uncle John has been and will remain a symbol of what all is great in a human being. He will continue to positively influence our family now and in the future.
Uncle John, I will miss you very much but you and Aunt Sybil go have a Christmas scotch with Grammy Liz and Grampa. Mom and Auntie Ann will be there too! Love you!
