December 1, 1933 - October 11, 2024
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of a beloved husband, father and grandfather.
Don is survived by his wife Bernie of 66 years and children John (Sharon) & Bruce (Cristina). He is preceded by his daughter Diana. He also leaves behind 7 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren who always brought a smile to his face and adored him for his gentle loving soul.
Don was born in Saskatchewan into a farming family of 9 children. He left the farming life to become a professional engineer, moving to Ontario. In his first job as an engineer, he met the love of his life, Bernie. Throughout his career, they moved several times, including once to England, and he traveled the world for work.
Their family ended up in Richmond, followed by South Surrey and lastly White Rock.
Don never lost his wonderful sense of humor until the end and can be summed up as such a peaceful person who always had a kind word to say to everyone.
Rest in Peace Don, Dad, Grandpa, GG Boy
