Not sure what to say?

I had the pleasure to have known the MacDonalds in Lakeland in the 1960's, when they were frequent dinner guests in our home. I found them wonderfully exotic and gifted, and very charismatic.

More than a great talent, a great human being. Always took time to chat, share a moment with me.

You are still remembered and appreciated. You were a wonderful friend.

Fond memories of Bob and Ingrid while working at Buck Hill Falls, PA during the summer. Bob had a great sense of humor and was so very talented. Goodbye my friend..."may flights of Angels guide you home."

Bob was my teacher for 4 years at Florida Southern. Those were great lessons, especially when I played a piece and Bob would play along improvising as we played. My mother and I would attend his concerts, especially those done with Ingrid. Since we always sat in the front row, Bob would give us a little wave. Ingrid and Sona, you have my and my family's deepest sympathy. We will miss Bob.

A Master artist has moved on to perform for those who have gone before him. It was always an honor to hear and enjoy his performances. Blessings of peace and comfort go to his family.

I was always pleased and honored, when, as a student, and later a local working musician, Robert MacDonald would give me a moment if only to chat.He showed me respect,and frienship,even though he barely knew me. I feel blessed to have known him

Liebe Ingrid und Mona,
wir haben erst heute vom Ableben von Ronald erfahren und sind sehr traurig. Wir hatten gehofft, uns noch einmal wiederzusehen. Vielleicht in einem anderen Leben. Seid umarmt von Lotti und Friedrich aus Heilbronn

Ich erinnere mich an den Künstler, Lehrer, Kollege, und meinen guten Freund Bob recht gern. In dieser trauervollen Zeit, möchte ich der Ingrid, Sona, und der ganzen Familie mein aufrichtiges Beileid aussprechen. Euer Bill Grange
