Donald Eugene McMahon Mac 
Sept. 28, 1932 - Nov. 9, 2005

No. 3. Donald was an avid San Francisco 49er fan for 45+ years. He enjoyed 
playing golf, and attending, as well as participating in a variety of family 
sporting activities. He especially enjoyed doting on his grandchildren who 
were the light of his life. He was the type of man who was first to offer a 
helping hand, a shoulder to cry on or a loving hug. He was a strong mans man, 
yet a teddy bear to all who knew and loved him. He is survived by his loving 
wife of 50 years, Ida. He is also survived by his son Connie and wife Shelly 
of Brentwood, CA; daughter Carol and husband Bruce Bender of Bakersfield, CA; 
daughter Lynda of Arizona; grandchildren Christina, Kelly, Brett, Logan, Nick

greatly missed by his large extended family and a wide assortment of friends 
who loved him dearly. Donald was preceded in death by his parents, Cornelius 
and Mary McMahon and 4 siblings, Mildred, Jerome, Paul and Joseph. The 
memorial services will be held at 1:00 pm, Tuesday, November 15, 2005 at
