He is survived by his wife Marie MacDonald (nee MacMaster) of 65 years, his children Paul MacDonald (Kim deceased), Michelle MacDonald, Mary Gail MacDonald, Kyle MacDonald, his grandchildren Stephanie Taylor, Tamara MacDonald, Evan MacDonald and Nicholas Meilleur-MacDonald.
He is also survived by his brother Bill MacDonald (Silvia), Allen MacDonald, sister-in-law Lynn MacDonald (Wayne deceased), brother-in-law’s Albert MacMaster (Theresa), Gerard MacMaster (Anne), Donald MacMaster, Earl MacMaster and sister-in-law’s Betty MacGillivary (Leonard deceased), Julie Davis, and Marg Musson (Alec deceased), as well as his many nieces, nephews, and grand-nieces and nephews.
Duncan is pre-deceased by his parents Duncan Rory MacDonald and Myrtle MacDonald (nee MacKay) who will welcome him at the gates of heaven along with his brother Alexander, his sister Mae and her husband Bernie Lynch, brother Wayne MacDonald (Lynn), brother-in-law’s Alec MacMaster (Marg), Angus MacMaster, Bernie MacMaster, George MacMaster, Leonard MacGillivary (Betty), sister-in-law Sharon Wilson (nee MacMaster) and his daughter-in-law Kim MacDonald (nee Ferguson).
Duncan was born in Antigonish but grew up in New Glasgow, Pictou County, Nova Scotia before making his home in Ontario to marry and start a family. He will be remembered as a loving husband, father and grandfather who was devoted to family, and his commitment to his Roman Catholic faith.
Duncan was a devoted, long-time retired employee of Ecolab Ltd. His interests after retirement were naps and more naps, and he loved the Toronto Blue Jays the day they took flight in 1977.
The family would like to express deep thanks to the staff at Etobicoke General Hospital for their compassionate care, as well as his in-home caregivers Sarah Lazatin and Anna Muniak.
