To the MacDonald family,
We have lost a true freind and mentor. That clan of phys ed teachers during those times at W-H were class acts. I appreciate everything he did for us. He is patroling a gym class with my Dad and they are showing everyone how to climb ropes with out using their legs. RIP He will surely be missed.

I was lucky enough to have Mr. Macdonald as a substitute in high school at Whitman Hanson I'll always remember the days where I would walk into gym and he smiled and said "Mike you ready to play Mat Ball" he was such a great guy may he rest in peace sending my condolences to the family

Mr Mac was my gym teacher back in the late 1970's and early 1980's. I really got to know him at after school gymnastics where we would have trampoline battles. He would always use his double back somersault to defeat me in the end. After graduation I would see him at the gym and we did some karate sparring a couple of times and of course I would see him in the beer booth at the Brockton Fair. It is unfortunate that he had to go so soon. He will live on in the great memories of all who knew him.

Mr MacDonald was a wonderful teacher, always had a smile on his face and a good word about everything. He would go out of his way to help a student and always had their best interest at heart. I will surely miss his presents at the gym, but will forever be grateful to have had the privilege to have known him. God Bless Mr Mac and his family.
My deepest condolences,

I am so sorry for all of you, Jim was a great guy, I am lucky enough to know him in many ways, first as a teacher, then as a collegue for over 20 years and most importantly as a friend. Oh the stories he could tell, especially the ones from the old school. But for those of us lucky enough to hear his stories, the ones that brought the biggest smile to his face are the ones of his grand
daughter (we called her the "princess"). Jim lit up every time someone asked
him what his "princess" was up to. He will be so missed by everyone and for me his stories will always bring a smile to my face.
