Grant Waite Macdonald

I was definitely blessed to grow up next to him and be his neighbor all my life❤I sure miss seeing him go outside doing the leaves mowing the lawn even getting on the roof for the gutters every time I seen him outside I made sure to say hi and talk with him❤ My deepest condolences and prayers to the family❤

I was blessed to have had Mr. Macdonald as a shop teacher at Parchment Middle School and as a homeroom teacher in 7th grade. I was part of the 7th grade class that gave Mr. Macdonald a retirement party with an "Ape-A-Gram". He was a great teacher and a very patient man. Many fine memories from his class. My condolences to the family.

Sincerely,

Heidi Schauer Boles

I am saddened to hear of Grant Macdonald's passing. Like my friend Don McCreery states, I had Mr. Macdonald for junior high shop classes (1957-1958) at Parchment. He taught me the basics of hand and power tool usage and how to fabricate things. These are skills that I use to this day. I also knew Mr. Macdonald from Scouts and appreciated what he did to help develop character and decency in the youth of our times. Mr. Macdonald attended several of our class reunions and I greatly enjoyed...

Grant McDonald was my shop teacher for the 1963-thru 1966 period at Parchment High School. He was a great teacher for wood and metal shop. He would let me work on my 1957 ford sometimes after school also. It's sad to see that so many schools don't have a set-up for shop classes anymore. Grant would come to our Class of 66 get-together every year. I'm sure that all the people that attended Parchment High School are saddened about his passing, but we send our thoughts and prayers, and ask GOD...

We join with your family in bidding a sad farewell to your dear father and grandfather Grant Macdonald. He will be surely missed. Hopefully we can all get together later to celebrate Grants life, accomplishments, and spirit. He made a big impact on so many people.

I was unemployed in the late 80's. I was in a funk, not sure what to do next, and trying to figure out how to support my small family. Job leads were slim, and nothing seemed to work.

Then Grant appeared on my doorstep. "C'mon," he said, "I need a crew to help expand the Scout camp."

"But, I've only worked in food service and retail," I replied. "I don't even know which end of a hammer to hold!"

"That's all right. I'll teach you."

That summer spent building the...

There are too many memories to share here, from the first hug in 1982 until now. From my twins birth, a cross country trip with toddlers, birthdays, Christmas's, zip lines, driving on Colorado mountain roads, trains, races, stories, so many more and of course a trip to Scotland, where Dad told everyone he was from Clad Donald. What an experience to help Dad pick out his new kilt and accessories in Edinburgh, he was like a kid in a candy store. Of course Dad found the best apple pie in...

Deepest sympathies to the family. Grant and Marilyn were two of my favorite patients.
