William Angus McDonald, Jr., 90, of Hooksett, New Hampshire passed away February 24, 2021 after a sudden illness.
Bill was born at home in Manchester, New Hampshire to the late William A. McDonald Sr. and Henrietta Mundell. He attended Central High School before joining the Navy in 1949.

He was an expert tradesman who took great pride in his work. He was also a former member of the Suncook Valley Chorale. As a founding member of the Hooksett Kiwanis Club, Bill believed in giving back to the community he loved. He was an avid reader and in retirement, taught himself to be a skilled stained-glass artisan. But most of all, he loved traveling and spending time with his wife Joan, his family, and friends.
