Bob MacDonald, Sr., 1935-2025.

Yesterday was the first anniversary of my dad’s death. He was a great father and a wonderful teacher, among many other things. We held off on publishing his obituary while getting his estate sorted. I decided to publish it on his anniversary.

@jean My condolences. (We lost my dad in January ‘22, and it’s… well, there’s a pretty big hole in our lives that he used to fill, and it’s pretty noticeable sometimes.)

It’s always too soon, but if the measure is “a full life, well lived” then it sounds like your dad more than met that. 💙

@lmika condolences Jean. I’m wondering if your father inspired you to learn Russian.
