Thomas MacDONALD
By Joan ROBINSON
Friday,
March 14, 2003 - Page A24
Father, husband, caterer. Born November 12, 1915, in Liverpool,
England. Died January 25, in Ottawa, of a stroke, aged 87.
Tom MacDONALD was the third of nine children born to William
and Mary Ellen
MacDONALD.
The family emigrated from England to
Canada in 1924 and settled in Kingston, Ontario With the outbreak
of the Second World War, Tom and his four brothers joined the
Armed Forces. Tom enlisted in the Canadian Army on January 25,
1940. He was assigned as batman/driver to Lieutenant-General
H.
D.
R.
CRERAR. In 1944, the Kingston Whig Standard featured
a photo of "Cpl. T.
McDONALD" sewing an extra pip on
CRERAR's
uniform, marking his promotion to full General;
CRERAR was then
Commander of the First Canadian Army. During those war years,
Tom served with the general in Italy, Sicily, the Netherlands,
Belgium, North Africa, France and Germany. One of his duties
was to prepare the general's meals; he became proficient at obtaining
and preparing reasonable meals with scant resources. It was during
this time that he developed a keen interest in food preparation.
After the war, Tom remained in the army. Although he had no professional
training, his natural flair for food preparation and presentation
led to his employment in Ottawa by National Defence Headquarters
as organizer and caterer of official banquets and what was known
as "the cocktail party circuit." On a private basis, the United
States Embassy also employed him in this capacity.
Among his effects are letters of appreciation from Ambassador
Livingston
MERCHANT of the U.S. Embassy and one from then-president
Dwight EISENHOWER, thanking Tom for his efforts during the Second
World War, as well as his contributions during two presidential
trips to Ottawa. It concludes: "With best wishes to a former
comrade-in-arms."
During this time he also accompanied General
CRERAR on official
business trips, wherein his role was to assist in the personal
needs of the
CRERAR family. Many of these trips were to major
Canadian cities but in 1947, Tom accompanied General
CRERAR on
a trade development mission to Hawaii, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Manila.
His last international trip took place in the 1960s when, in
a similar role, he travelled to Cyprus with a delegation headed
by Minister of Defence Paul
HELLYER.
In 1965, he was honourably released from the army. He then assumed
the position of steward at 24 Sussex Drive. He served with Prime
Minister Lester
PEARSON from 1965 to 1968 and with Prime Minister
Pierre TRUDEAU from 1968 to 1975. He was again responsible for
the organization of formal banquets and other entertainment.
On one such occasion, a photo much prized by Tom's English mother
shows him in formal dress, standing ready to serve the Queen
Mother.
Although officially retired in 1975, he maintained his interest
in cooking both in his private catering business and at home.
He was a lively, fun-loving man and with his wife, Verena, hosted
many memorable parties wherein his love of people and sense of
humour had full rein.
Tom was proud of his country, his city and his war service. He
could be moved to tears by memories of his war years and every
year that he was physically able he marched in the Veteran's
Day parade wearing his war medals.
In his declining years, he was comforted by the care and companionship
of his family and Friends. At Uncle Tom's funeral they volunteered
their special memories of him. There was much laughter and few
tears as befitted the man. The music of his favourite song We'll
Meet Again concluded the ceremony -- sung, of course, by Vera
LYNN. He will be missed by many, including nieces, nephews, Friends
and surviving comrades-in-arms.
Joan is Tom
MacDONALD's niece.
