David John MacDonald

Oh my! Such a great loss. Mac was always larger than life. John and I were married by him, thanks to his Universal Life Church ordination. I believe we were the first of many.

Ah Sharon my condolences. Here in Georgia I still have pleasant memories of David and of you.

I will miss David very much--he had a profound impact on my life and I will forever be grateful.

David was a memorable character who always amused our family with jokes. Sharon, sending our sympathies to you.

David was a longtime member of the Oriental Numismatic Society and published several papers on Indo-Greek coins in the society journal. On behalf of our members please accept our sincere condolences on your loss.

Dear Sharon, so sorry for your loss. Alan Novick
