I am saddened and crushed by the news of the loss of Dr. McDonald. He was my doctor for fifty years,since I was five years old. The last time I saw him was about a month ago. I was shocked to see him hooked to an oxygen tank but still doing his work. It made me feel like my problems were so small. Truely an inspirational momment from an always inspirational man. I'll have to stand in line with the many who will miss him.

Dear Debbie and Tony,
I only saw the Record Sunday. I cannot accept that John(Dad) is gone. He's been my doc and friend for more than 35 years. Being late in life fathers we shared so much so often as Tony and then my sons grew and that beyond his amazing medicine. My family is forever grateful for the input which helped us know Don Bosco was right for Brian. Medically he always knew immediately what to do, what was wrong and clearly explained why. John's constant pride in all Tony pursued...

To Mrs. McDonald and staff,
My deepest sympathy to you on your loss. I was a patient for only a few years, but I will miss Dr. McDonald so much. He understood polio and remembered the epidemics. He treated me as if I meant something to him and made the sign of the cross on my forehead several times making me feel truly blessed. He was a genuinely good man who will be greeted by God and rewarded in heaven.

Dear Mrs. McDonald and family, Roberta, Erica and all of the staff. I was shocked and saddened to hear of Dr. McDonald's passing ~ and my heart and prayers are with you all! Dr. McDonald was such a wonderful, kind, funny and intelligent man - I know I will never find another doctor that could replace his great warmth and compassion. He was a true, family doctor -- the kind they don't make anymore! He will be tremendously missed and I will continue to think of him -- and that twinkle in...

Dear Mrs. McDonald, I wanted you to know how saddened me and my family are about your husband's passing, a true healer and man of God, he will be greatly missed. He kept my late husband alive much longer then we expected and allowed him to live in a dignified manner. My daughter Michelle and I will never forget him. The Doctor treated not only his patients with respect but also their loved ones, and thats a lost commodity in the medical field today. Had it not been for my 5 year old...

Dear Debbie, Tony, Family and Staff, I was deeply sadden to hear of the passing of Doctor McDonald. He was truly the George Baily of Cliffside Park as evidenced by the love of the people who paid their respects to a giving man. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to work with the doctor and experience the care he gave to all of his patients. I will always remember his wit and know that his legacy will continue in the hearts of all of his family, friends and patients. Sincerely, Gina...
