MACDONALD, Earle C. - It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Earle Crockett MacDonald of Finlay Dan Road, Thorburn, on Saturday February 17th, 2018 at the Aberdeen Hospital. Born on November 28th 1929, at Thorburn, Pictou County, Earle was the son of the late Finlay Dan MacDonald and Elsie May (Crockett) MacDonald.
