Without a doubt, “the Donald” will be very much missed. From his Yorkshire, UK roots he always expressed himself in anyway he felt suited the occasion!
Donald McColl (who always didn’t understand why he never had a middle name, when his siblings did!).
He was a very strong, complex Man who at times was overwhelmed. Can you imagine living through such an advanced time…1930’s til now. Incredibly resilient & a funny af guy til the end. Hugo was his ultimate fav Grandchild.
