Not sure what to say?

So loved, so missed; the year has not lessened the loss.

You will not be forgotten.

My sincere and deepest condolences to the family. Always a gentleman with a big smile, positive attitude and a caring nature. So long my friend. Goodbye for now; until we meet again.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. Bob and I have many wonderful memories of Thanksgiving at the farm and Christmas at Aunt Doris and Uncle Macs'. He will be missed.

Al McDonald was one of the best people My wife and I have ever met. He will be truly missed.

Al and I both worked in the Pipe Shop at the Upjohn Company and worked together in the same building for a couple of years in the late eighties. He always seemed to be in good mood and up for some laughs. We played golf together on several occasions and shared a hilarious moment that happened at one of the Pipe Shop Opens that always got both of us laughing whenever it was mentioned. I remember him talking about his daughter often and I could tell that he loved her very much. My condolences...

When I think about my time working with Al, I can’t help but smile. We were both pipe fitters. Although I can’t remember a single job we did together, I recall the important things about him. His smile, dry sense of humor, building a chimney for my house, stories of his pontoon adventures on the lake, golfing with him, the “S” turn story, and the times he’d yell “Get in a truck” which meant we’re going to the coal pile for a smoke. Al was a good guy and friend. I’ll miss him.

Rest In Peace to "Uncle Al". He was a great man and he will be truly missed. I have so many great summer memories of him. From his nicknames and funny responses to fun vacation trips - he always made us smile. He always was entertaining. He will be truly missed.
