April 16, 1928 – October 20, 2022
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Don at his home in Vernon, BC, surrounded by his three children.
He will be greatly missed by his children, Linda, Ron (Linda) and Jim. Don was predeceased by his wife of 65 years, Jean.
Don was born in Strathclair, MB and moved as a child with his mother to Winnipeg, MB.
He worked in car sales in Winnipeg for many years. After retiring, he moved with his wife to Vernon, BC to live with their son Ron and his wife Linda.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests those who wish to express sympathy consider making a donation to the local SPCA.
