Don passed away on October 7 after a lengthy battle with dementia. He was predeceased by his wife, Janet, in 2012. Left to mourn are son Barry (Heather), daughter Karen (Gordon), granddaughter Michelle (Kevin), and grandsons Jason (Kristina), Ryan (LA) and Colin. He had a special place in his heart for his four great-grandsons Aiden, Caleb, Ryan and Cole. Don was born in Halkirk, Alberta where he met Janet, his childhood sweetheart. They moved to Vancouver in 1953 where Don worked in the warehouse at Imperial Tobacco for over 35 years. Thank you to the third floor nursing and recreation staff at Belvedere Care Centre in Coquitlam where he spent his final 15 months. A private funeral service will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Alzheimer’s Society of BC or the BC Cancer Foundation will be greatly appreciated.
