Rev. Hugh Donald MacDonald, "Father Hughie D", passed away peacefully on Thursday, December 31, 2020 in Port Hawkesbury Nursing Home in his 95th year. Born on a farm in Springfield, Antigonish Co., on Sunday, January 27, 1925, he was the son of Augustine "Gusty" and Catherine "Katie" MacDonald. He was a true son of Springfield as it was always his first choice when going for a drive. He could talk about who lived where and there was always a story. Eternal rest grant unto Fr. Hughie D, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.
