James Malcom MacDonald

Jim was an incredible man. We will miss him so much. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Rest in peace Jim.

I have known Jim and his family for my whole life; my dad and him were very close friends. I was fortunate enough to work for him for a number of years, but was even more fortunate to know him on the family side. He was like a coach on the field and genuinely passionate off the field. He will be greatly missed from both a professional and personal individual. R.I.P. with condolences and prayers to all family and friends.

Although I did not know Jim for that long, he had a great impact in my life. He was a great inspiring human, and when he walked into the room the room would light up. He will be incredibly missed and I will miss him calling me “kiddo”. May you rest in peace.

I didn’t know Jim personally, but my dad had worked for him for about 11 years. We’ve only ever heard good things about him. When my dad passed away unexpectedly in 2022 Jim helped my family out during that hard time. We are very grateful for everything he had done for my dad. Sending thoughts and prayers from my family to his family, especially his wife Penny and his granddaughter, my close friend, Ashley.

Sad to see that Jim has passed away. He was a classmate of mine and my hubby’s from WHS class of 1972. I can see that tall guy get out of the VW bug, still brings a smile to my face. RIP old friend. To his family, know that he will be missed. John and Laura Hacsi

Jim was a great man and the best boss a person could have I appreciate all the opportunities he gave me. He was a family man from the first moment he met my son he always treated him as one of the crew. My family and i owe a lot to him we wouldn’t be where we are today without the help and support Jim has given us
Jim, will be missed dearly RIP Jim

Dear Penny,
To say I’m shocked and saddened to read of Jim’s passing is an understatement. Good, kind, loyal and generous were only a few of his attributes. I know you must be devastated and I grieve with and for you. RIP dear Jim.

Jim was more than just a boss—he was a teacher, a mentor, and a friend. From the moment he brought me into his team, he taught me everything I needed to know. Everyone who knew us knew the bond we shared. He was a good man, and he trusted me fully, without hesitation. If there was something that needed to be done, Jim knew I’d handle it, no questions asked. That trust was mutual, and it meant everything to me.

I had the privilege of working for Jim since 2010, but I knew him for much longer. He wasn’t just my boss—he was the best boss I ever had. He was the type of leader who made you feel appreciated and valued. He never had a bad word to say about me, and for that, I’ll always be grateful. Anything he needed, he would look for me, and I was proud to be a person he relied on.

Jim wasn’t shy about letting people know how much he valued me, and that always meant a lot. But it was more than just work—he was always there if I needed anything. He was supportive, loyal, and kind. He had a way of making people feel secure and appreciated.

I only wish I could’ve spent a little more time with him before he left. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. His legacy of kindness, trust, and leadership will live on in all of us who had the honor of knowing him. Rest in peace, Jim—you’ll always be remembered.

Jim was a great Manager, awesome coworker, outstanding mentor and wonderful friend. He was taken from us way to soon. I was lucky enough to spend a great deal of time with him and will miss him everyday.

You and Sammy finally get time to play.

R.I.P. my friend.
