David Thomas MacDonald

Born April 8, 1956

David Thomas MacDonald, age 60, of Newark, DE passed away on Tuesday, October 25, 2016.

Born on April 8, 1956, in Johnston, Scotland, he was the son of Isabel (McGrath) and the late Thomas MacDonald. David proudly served as a Merchant Navy Officer for 14 years in Scotland and was a graduate of Glasgow Maritime College. He was a car enthusiast who enjoyed visiting car shows, showing off his 1988 Corvette, and boating on the Sassafras River with his wife and friends. He found a tremendous amount of comradery as a participant in the ALS support group he attended. David was a real character with a tremendous sense of humor that will be missed by all who knew him.

He is survived by his loving wife of 20 years, Moira (Mills) MacDonald; mother, Isabel MacDonald of Scotland; children, Andrew and Steven MacDonald, both of Scotland, and Gary MacDonald and wife, Kristin of Wilmington, DE; grandchildren, Jack, Ellie, Ross, and Ryan MacDonald; and sister, Mairi Williamson of Scotland.

Funeral services and interment will be held privately.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions be made to the ALS Association Greater Philadelphia Chapter, 321 Norristown Road, Suite 260, Ambler, PA 19002.
