Allan R.J. MacDonald, 87, of North Attleboro, MA, passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 9, 2019 at Life Care Center of Attleboro in Attleboro, MA. He was the beloved husband of the late Marilyn (Gebhardt) MacDonald, who passed away on April 14, 2011.
Born on December 12, 1931 in Boston, MA, he was the son of the late Allan Ronald MacDonald and the late Margaret (MacPherson) MacDonald.
A graduate of Cathedral High School, he then attended Boston University where he received an Associates in Arts degree. Allan then proudly and honorably served our country in the United States Army. He later spent most of his career as a salesperson at Modernfold.
Prior to residing in North Attleboro, he lived in Walpole, MA, where he had been a member of the Lion's Club. After retirement, he moved to the home he and Marilyn built in Moultonborough, NH. He then spent many enjoyable years working at Castle in the Clouds as a tour guide and tram driver.
Allan was a genuinely warm, outgoing man with a wonderful sense of humor who loved telling jokes. He loved sports, especially rooting for the Boston home teams. He was an avid and passionate golfer and alpine and cross-country skier. He loved New Hampshire, where he vacationed for many years before building his home there, enjoying all that the mountains and lakes had to offer.
Allan had a special place in his heart for animals, particularly cats and dogs. More than anything, he simply loved life and cherished spending time with his family.
Allan was the loving father of Joan M. Ciancarelli and her husband, Paul F. Ciancarelli, of North Attleboro, MA; Allan MacDonald of South Carolina; and Frank MacDonald of Florida. He was the proud grandfather of Taryn E. Degon and her husband, Brian D. Degon, of North Attleboro; and Jessica L. Downey and her husband, Brian A. Downey of North Attleboro.
