As one of Anne's oldest friends from West Winnipeg, I would to express my deepest sympathy to Anne and of the their chIldren. I first met Ian in1952 when he was first dating her. I admired him tremendously and know that he was a wonderful husband to my dear friend Anne. Each time I saw Ian and Anne, I loved talking to him and very much enjoyed his dry sense of humour. My thoughts are with you.

Dear Family of Dr. McDonald,

I was very saddened to learn of the passing of Dr. McDonald. He was a man I deeply respected and cared for.

I had the privilege to work as his secretary in the Department of Psychiatry in the 70's.

I always enjoyed a great conversation and lots of laughs with him in the halls of RUH whenever our paths crossed over the past years.

I am sorry that I cannot attend his funeral today but my thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I am honored to have known him.

As a classmate of Bruce from Gr 5-8, with regular invites to their family home, I recall a warmth and friendliness with Dr Ian and his family. Another recollection was Super Bowl III -with KC and the Vikings--and Dr McDonald showing an avid interest
--He would have loved to witness the latest 'Riders Grey Cup win.
---I extend my sympathies to his family upon his passing.

Hello, Shelagh. I still read the Star Phoenix obituaries every day, and came upon your dad's yesterday. I know his health had been a worry for you for the past few years. It is good he had the kind of death you wanted. Take care of yourself, Sandy, and Harry, I write this from Davao City in the Philippines, where I am visiting my son.

Dr. McDonald's influence on my work as a psychiatrist continues on an almost daily basis, ten years after I last saw him. I often quote him when I speak with patients, students and administrators. I continue to share with students the articles that he gave me, complete with notes written in his distinctive script. His work will continue to live on, not only through the work of his students, but through their students, and so on. The extent of the impact that he had on the administration, teaching and practice of medicine is significant and immeasurable.

Susan and family, thinking of you and wishing you love and strength at this time.

I am saddened to hear of Dr. McDonald's passing but feel very fortunate to have been one of the many students to have worked with Dr. McDonald. The depth and breadth of his contribution to our field became even more apparent to me when I began working on my own. He was truly a visionary. Of all the teaching we received as residents, a few moments stand out. One of those poignant moments was of Dr. McDonald enlightening us, "...your words are like a surgeon's scalpel, use them with skill, precision, and great care."
My deepest sympathy to Dr. McDonald's family, we share in your grief.

He was a wonderful supportive man and will be fondly remembered. RIP Dr McDonald. Always remembering you with great respect
