Raymond Darrell McDonald

BC to Frank and Nellie

McDonald. Pug was raised

on the family farm, being

spoiled by his 9 older

brothers and sisters –

Gwen, Gete, Ted, Barb,

Bill, Bob, Ralph, Jim and

Jo. Darry went to school in

Mission, upon leaving he went

to work in the B.C. interior doing many jobs;

logging, driving a gravel truck, and eventually

working in the shake and shingle mills

throughout the Lower Mainland. Newt was a

member of the Dewdney Diking board, being

a pump-man for 29 years and also a member of

theMission Logger Sports,Dewdney Hall Board,

Royal Canadian Legion, and the Sasquatch

Lions Club.

Darry married Jeannine Maisonneuve in 1960

and had three children; Stephen (deceased),

Rick (Joann) and Kim (Robert), grandchildren;

Dustin, Michael, Steven (Kamaljeet), Stepanie

(Joel), Dakota, Bailey, and Kimberly, great

grandkids Brayden, Connor, and Austin.

He then married Margaret Fallis in 1967 and

had two children Cindy (Fernando), Darren

(Michelle) and grandchildren; Jordana, Gage,

Aiden, and Maddix.

Darry was happiest when spending time with

his huge family and his many friends making

them all feel like theywere his favorite. He loved

to fish, hunt, play poker and was often caught

coming home from the casino after his $300

“free” lunch. He spent many days at a field or

rink letting everyone know his grandchildren

were the “best”. With a rye in his hand, a smile

that could light up the room and a one liner

that would make you laugh, he will be missed

so much by his family and friends.

A Celebration of his Life will be held when we

can all be together.
