Wynn Paul McDonald

I just today found out we lost you Wynn. Its no wonder the world has seemed just a bit dimmer since spring. You will be missed on campus' statewide my friend. Your friend at St. Clair County Community College.

it was bitter sweet to see that today would have been Wynn's Birthday. As tough as today may be for his wife and children, mogther and cousins, know that many of us are still holding you and your family in our prayers. To Mrs. Betty you and my mother(Mrs.Ann Smith or sometimes refered to and Mrs. Charles Edward Smith) were friends and I remember many times you and the boys would come to our house, just up the hill and hold book studies while we kids would play outside. and to his cousins,...

Tomorrow would have been my beloved Wynn's 49th birthday. It's the first time in 18 years that we didn't celebrate this together. I understand the "loss" most of you are feeling... but I had a lifetime with this man. It's overwhelming to lose your spouse after all of these years. Happy Birthday, my dear sweet Wynn.

I just read about this in the Cardinals Reflections magazine. It really saddens me to hear this. I waited until my last semester, Fall 2003, before I graduated to take Public Speaking. I was fortunate enough to have Wynn as my instructor. He made public speaking fun and easy and I really enojoyed the class. He had a passion for teaching that showed in his personality. I wish many more could have experienced his classes. I am thankful that I was able to know him for 15 weeks, but I will...

What a tragic loss for everyone who knew Wynn. He had an infectious smile that lit up any room he entered. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to call him my friend. God bless you. I pray for peace to all of those who mourn him.

Wynn I know your with God, and have wings. Your kindness and good heart will be deeply missed. You have been a childhood friend of mine, and was always kind, smart and a joy in this world. I love you Wynn, you will be missed. Also my heart goes out to Betty his mother, and his cousins Bunny, Hal, Terri, and Tracy Brown.

Wynn had a smile that warmed me through and through. He always cheered me up when he came to the Academic Testing Center at Delta College where I worked, and was a welcome visitor who could help relieve the stress of the job. I also heard him as an inspirational speaker, and he made an indelible impression on me. My deepest condolences to his family.

Dear friends.. I have posted messages many different times when a friend has passed but this is the first time it has been a family member of MINE who has passed. Reading these heartfelt notes has touched my heart and I speak for Heather and the rest of my family as well when I say "thank you" to everyone who took the time to reach out to us. You will never know how much this means and we will cherish these pages. God bless all of you and thank you, once again.

This message is for Heather,

Heather, I'm the one who talked with you on March 4th about your dad; and i could hardly speak. As i tried to convey how special your father was to all of us in the Finacial Aid office at SVSU, you looked at me with such warm, loving eyes.... as if you were understanding what i was trying to say, but couldn't say because of my tears. i appreciate your warmth to a stranger.

Your father must have been, and must be, so proud of you. You...
