MacDONALD, Robert Harold "Rob" - 56, passed away suddenly at home on March 7, 2010. Rob was born in Springhill to Kathleen MacDonald (Mooring) and the late Gordon MacDonald. He lived and worked in Springhill before falling ill in the summer of 1994. For the next 16 years, though unable to work, he courageously battled through one health crisis after another. As testament of his courage and perseverance, he volunteered with All Saints Hospital Palliative Care Unit, was on the Executive Committee for the Kidney Foundation and helped establish the Care for the Care Givers Program for the families of Cancer patients. Rob loved his motorcycles but more than anything he enjoyed spending time with his family. He was quick witted and always had a smile to share. He is loved and will be forever missed by his wife and best friend, Marion (Herrett); sons, Rodney (Amy Corbett) and Randy (Amanda Paul); mother, Kathleen; sister, Dianne (Wayne) Langille;
granddaughters, Morgan and Erin MacDonald; aunt, Helen Sweeney; uncle, Peter Misken. He is further survived by his four nieces and three nephews and extensive family and friends. He will also be missed by his canine companion, McAllister. He was predeceased by his father, Gordon MacDonald and his in-laws, Arthur and Muriel Herrett.
