Another Former Member Passes Away In Kansas

Tribute to Mr. W. Chester S. MacDonald

The members of the Rotary Club of Sackville, New Brunswick have been saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Chester MacDonald.

Chester was a very loyal and active member of our Rotary Club in the 1980s and early 1990s, and served as President of the Club in 1988-1989. He was a staunch supporter of the Rotary Foundation and a Paul Harris Fellow.  In 1991 he very ably chaired the committee that organized the celebration of the 60^th anniversary of the club.

True to Rotary principles Chester was also active in the local community, a member of the Presbyterian Church, and in particular served Mount Allison University in raising monies for their endowment fund.

We remember Chester as a good Rotarian and a good friend, one who was always willing to help others and who carried out all his duties with a good grace and with a sparkling sense of humour.  In everything he did he embodied the Rotary principle of “Service Above Self”.

Our thoughts and prayers go out at this time to his wife Sheila, to the members of his family, and to a wide circle of friends in Canada and in the United States.
