Survived by children David (Lois), Bruce (Bernadette), Cathy, Susan, and Shelagh (Sandy Ribeiro); grandsons Michael McDonald, Stephen McDonald, and Harry Ribeiro; cousins, nieces, and a nephew. The family would like to thank Lorna Crausus and especially Fe Enriquez for their tireless and loving support of Ian and Anne, as well as Andrew MacDonald, who tended to Anne through these difficult years.
