He cherished long car rides with no destination in mind, exploring the hidden corners of New England and finding beauty in winding backroads.  Jim enjoyed reading and being outdoors, whether camping or just going for a walk.  Nothing brought more joy to him than watching a good soccer match; especially when his kids were playing.  Above all, Jim’s heart belonged to his family and friends. He was never happier than when surrounded by those he loved. 

He was a lifelong wood worker and served as treasurer for EMWG (Eastern Mass.

When she and her husband moved to Framingham in 1975 to raise their three children, her mother, Maybelle, feared of never seeing her again, as she was moving far out to “the country” – some 25 minutes away. She is survived by those three children: Kevin MacDonald and his wife, Burnedette, of Hopkinton; Christine MacDonald of North Providence, RI; and Brian MacDonald and his wife, Christina of Worcester, who will miss Mom dearly.
