'Mac' (Angus) will always be one of my favorite people - jovial, giving and thoughtful. He always teased me about the challenge of getting me to sleep as a tiny infant. He rocked me in his arms for hours but the minute he placed me in my crib, the fussing would start. Nobody told him to just turn me over and I would drift right off. Patience and kindness - a truly wonderful man!

What a wonderful man and supporter of the Shoreline Police Dept. I had the privilege of meeting and getting Angus to join our storefront as one of the original volunteers. He was a great help and lots of fun to work with. When I left Shoreline in 1998 after getting promoted, I was confident that the storefront was in good hands. Rest in peace Angus McDonald. Sgt.
