James D. McDonald, age 78, passed away on Tuesday, August 6, 2019, at Sharon S. Richardson Community Hospice surrounded by his loving family. He was born on March 26, 1941, in Colorado Springs, CO to the late James and Goldie (Spradling) McDonald. On October 18, 1958, he married Linda Felder in Milwaukee. James was a man of many hats and was employed at various places as a welder, amongst many other things. If you gave him something that needed attention, he was determined to make it work.
