This is a testimonial about my very dear friend Tom McDonald.
Tom was a "man among men" who deeply loved all his family. We often complimented each other how great our families are. Tom always practiced what my Father taught me, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything". Tom could make a new friend feel like an old friend with great ease. I will forever remember his often made statement, "it is what it is". I truly miss my Great Buddy and hope he and Dave are picking out all the great fishing spots for us. Since I was Tom and Ro's best man I've had the honor of knowing him for a couple years. He and Ro made it possible for me to meet my Sweetheart. Rest in peace my very dear friend.

Tom has been my buddy and sidekick for 71 years. We sat next to each other in first grade.We laughed and cried together and my memories of him will always be with me with a smile on my face. He now has a new sidekick, the Lord. Rest well my good friend and enjoy eternal peace with our Father in heaven.

. The Lord has a new sidekick now and Tom will fit in well with the Lord in his new home. Rest now my friend, from a job well done.

Tom, I will miss all the times we shared laughing. I will remember Ro & I teaching you & Al Mexican train dominoes. You were always easy to talk to no matter what the subject was. Be at peace with the angels. Phyllis

That picture is worth more than a thousand words, and a true testament to the love Mr. McDonald had for his family. Blessed to meet them when Carrie and I were pre-school teachers together. Treated like family then, and honored to still know them. May God bless and keep each of you, now and in the times to come.

What a beautiful tribute to everybody's Papa. Papa Tom was special to all of us and will always be in our hearts. I will forever remember our tag team weeks watching Carrie's fur babies when the family was out of town, especially the year we had to care for Jacki's goldfish.
