    5. [S789] Death Notice.
      MCDONALD, Capt. David M: Air NZ (Rtd) F/O NZRAF 5 Squadron (1958-64). Beloved husband of Aileen, and much loved cousin, uncle, friend, and neighbour. David passed away peacefully at Anthony Wilding Rest Home Hospital in Halswell on July 20, 2022, after a long battle with cancer, aged 82. It was his wish that his body be donated to the Anatomy Department of the University of Otago Medical School to aid cancer research, so there will be no formal funeral. When it is safe to do so, post Covid, hopefully in the Spring, we will have a gathering for all family, friends, and neighbours here at our home to celebrate his long and adventurous life. Very special thanks to all the staff at Anthony Wilding Rest Home for their kind and loving care.
