It is with sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Carl Neilson MacDonald, 67 years of Springhill, on Wednesday, September 30, 2015 at his residence.  

Born in Springhill, he was a son of Audrey (Rushton) MacDonald, Springhill and the late Archibald MacDonald.

Carl was an electrical contractor.  He had a furniture business for many years in Springhill and owned and rented many apartments in the area.  He was a great dancer, and loved to fish, hunt, and spend time at the camp and the beach.  A wonderful father, he adored his children and grandchildren, and always enjoyed time with his family and friends.  

Besides his mother Audrey (Ralph Hunter) MacDonald, Springhill, he will be sadly missed by children Carl Jr. (Patti), Pugwash, Jan (Mark Rhindress)  MacDonald, Amherst, Brent (Krista), Springhill; 7 grandchildren Alexa, Kyle, Morgan, Karly, Braedon, Kate and Cameron;  special friend Peggy Hadley, Springhill; siblings Douglas, Truro, Anne MacDonald, Springhill,  Dougal (Frances), Springhill, Kathy (Ted) Cummings, Westville, NS, and Carolyn (Perry) Terris, Springhill; as well as several nieces and nephews. 

He was predeceased by his sister, Jean Chapman.

Arrangements have been entrusted to A H Brown Funeral Home, 5 McFarlane St., Springhill, NS (902-597-2361) where visiting hours will be held on Friday from 6 to 8 pm.  The funeral service will be held at the St. John the Baptist Roman Catholic Church, Springhill on Saturday, October 3, 2015 at 11 am, Father Phil Thibodeau officiating.  A reception will be held following the funeral service in the church hall.
