DR. GREGORY DONALD (โ€™73)

Submitted by his life-long Mount A pals Dave Wood (โ€™71), Chris Meadows (โ€™71), Bob Ward (โ€™72), George Shaw (โ€™73), Steve Trevor (โ€™73, โ€™74), Dennis Bedard (โ€™75), and David Henry (โ€™74, โ€™75)

Greg passed away peacefully in July 2022 at his Moncton country home, surrounded by his loving family. Greg was a devoted husband to his dear wife Cindy, a very proud father of Nick, Kelly, and Gillian, a beaming grandfather to four grandkids, a big brother to Gaelyne (โ€™75) and Gary, a dedicated and award-winning medical doctor, a Moncton community leader, a lifetime basketball player and long-time coach, a rugby player, an all-round sports enthusiast, an eternal optimist, a team player, an amateur gourmet, definitely a jester and entertainer, and our life-long Mount A buddy.

Greg was a multi-talented townie (โ€ฆas all townies claim to be!) who always maintained a positive outlook on life and its many adventures. He loved sports and played basketball for four years under Laird McLennan (1969-73) and was a proud MtA team member that beat Acadia in his first year. He also loved rugby (especially the post-game parties) and played in Nova Scotia for many years.

Gregโ€™s life plan on graduating from Mount A in 1973 was to become a medical doctor. With steely grit and determination, Greg graduated from Dalhousie Medical School (with George Shaw (โ€™73)), where he met the love of his life, Cindy, and became a dedicated and celebrated doctor in Moncton (awarded New Brunswick Doctor of the Year in 2012).

Over the years, Greg enjoyed many adventures (โ€ฆsome that we can mention!) including a backpack trip through Europe in 1973 with George Shaw (โ€™73) and David Henry (โ€™74), where Greg often got lost; the 1976 Montreal Olympics again with George and David; to the Atlanta Georgia Olympics in 1996 with his family; and a special trip to the 2015 Rugby World Cup Championships in Cardiff, Wales, with Cindy and other friends, including Paul (โ€™74) and Shelly Arsenault (โ€™74).

His summer sport schedule always included a week of golf with his Mount A buddies, who, after a hard day on the PEI links, all bunked in at his Hampton Beach cottage to consume his gourmet appetizers (perhaps with a few beers) and recount tall tales.

Greg will be sadly missed by his family and friends. We will never forget our old Mount A buddy.

NB - Before his passing, Greg set up the Mount Allison Dr. Greg Donald โ€œHeads Upโ€ Bursary. We encourage his friends to donate at some point in the future.

Please note Dr. Greg Donald was included in the Fall 2022 Record In Memoriam.
