GEORGE MCDONALD Obituary

McDONALD--George T. Our heartfelt sympathy to Harriet McDonald and family on the passing of their beloved husband, father, and grandfather, George T. McDonald. We will treasure and honor the legacy of our dear friend's lifetime of service on behalf of the most vulnerable. His unwavering commitment to criminal justice reform and the right to dignified shelter and economic opportunity will continue to improve the quality of life for not only the Doe Fund's heroic "Men in Blue," but for our community at large. He is more than a hero. Maria Cuomo and Kenneth Cole

What he did for so many will never be forgotten, especially giving a "hand up" to formerly incarcerated persons. As a graduate of the DOE fund I was grateful, privileged and honored to have met him. Rest in honor and blessings.
