The Chisholm family is saddened to announce the loss of Don, who passed away peacefully on November 3rd, in his 83rd year. Beloved husband to Kathleen Martin (K.C) for 42 happy years. Ever supportive father to David M. Chisholm. Don will also be dearly missed by his sister Anne-Louise Brookes (Betsy) Wolfville, Nova Scotia, brother Richard Brookes (Susan) Auckland, New Zealand. Predeceased by brother Major General John Robert Chisholm (Gwen).

Born in Nova Scotia, Don spent many of his earlier years travelling and living abroad, always seeking the next experience. From New Zealand, to Australia, to Europe, Asia, and South America, Don finally settled back to his home country of Canada. He proceeded to work for the North York Board of Education primarily as Property Manager for 27 Years. Don took the opportunity to reap the fruits of his labour by retiring at 60 and enjoyed his remaining years free to pursue his spirituality through Transcendental Meditation and Ayurvedic studies.

A Reception will be held on Monday, November 21st from 6:00 – 9:00 pm at York Funeral Centre.

In lieu of floral tributes, the Chisholm family kindly asks that you consider making a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada in Don’s memory. The Chisholm family greatly appreciates your ongoing support during this difficult time.
