He will be deeply missed by his extended family and many friends.
Born in Newmarket to parents George and Anna, Don spent much of his life in Oshawa, Toronto and Harcourt Park. He was known for his kindness, sense of humour, generosity, strong work ethic. Throughout his life he was an avid sports enthusiast who had a great love for music and enjoyed spending time on Big Straggle Lake.
