MACDONALD, Ian DonaghyIan Donaghy Macdonald, born September 4, 1931, passed away peacefully on Sunday March 5, 2017. A loving husband, father, brother and friend, we will be eternally grateful for having him in our lives. A long time West Vancouverite, Ian grew up with his parents, Donald and Florence (nee Donaghy) and his beloved sister Margaret. Ian married the love of his life Shirley (nee Cox) in 1958. He had four children, Bob (Athena), Gordie, Greg (Karen) and Deidre (Wedlidi). His 10 grandchildren, 8 nieces and nephews and many great-grandchildren gave him much joy. He and Shirley loved to share good times with friends and family, especially at the family cabin on Sakinaw Lake. They built two cabins and visited 45 countries together. Ian enjoyed jazz, golf, tennis, birding, and in his later years, became quite an accomplished carver. Ian enjoyed his work and quickly rose to positions of leadership in the forest industry. Ian loved the variety, be it flying into remote logging camps along the BC coast or chairing meetings in downtown Vancouver for Interfor. He brought his considerable skill and enthusiasm to his volunteer efforts with the West Vancouver Historical Society and the West Vancouver Municipality. Ian was hard-working, resourceful, and deeply loyal to his friends and family. The family would like to thank Dr''s. Shaw, Tyldesley, Smiljanic, and Kelpin as well as the North Shore Hospice and Vancouver Coastal Health West for their kind support. A Celebration of Life will be held at the North Shore Unitarian Church, West Vancouver on Sunday, March 19 at 2:00, reception following at Hollyburn Country Club. In lieu of flowers, donations to the North Shore Hospice or the Coalition to Cure Prostate cancer (ctcpc.org) would be appreciated.
