In memory of those who have Crossed the Bar
MACDONALD, Leo Bernard - It is with great sadness that the family of Leo B. MacDonald announce his passing on April 10, 2015, just before his 90th birthday. Son of the late Billy B and Mary MacDonald, Leo was born and raised in Lourdes, Pictou County. He served in the Canadian Navy late in WWII before settling in Halifax where he met and married his wife Helen (Ashe) in 1956. Leo worked as a manager for Bolands, Ltd. until his retirement in 1990. A lifelong hockey and baseball fan, Leo also loved to socialize with his friends and neighbours, especially over a game of cards. His greatest joy came from his family, who will miss him terribly. Leo was predeceased by his beloved wife Helen after 56 years together. Also predeceased by brothers Sander, Ian and Donnie, sisters Mary and Kathleen. He is survived by sisters Eunice and Rita and brother, Eddie. Also survived by his nine children (Bill, Pat, Clare, Leo, Kathleen, Brian, Bob, Eunice and Ann), their spouses and his 14 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. Special thanks to the caring staff of RJF Healthcare and Unit 8.2 at the QEII hospital who took such great care of our father. Funeral arrangements are under the care of J.A.
