Don passed gently from this life to the Lord’s presence on September 20, 2023. He lived a long and full life of love and faith in God. Don was predeceased by his parents, brothers Fred and Gordon, and his loving wife Norma. He is survived by his children, Geoff (Cindy) and Leslie (Ken), grandchildren Ruth (Bryce), Dori (Robert), Abby (Chris), Adam (Sarah) and Jonathan, ten great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
Don was a longtime resident of Burnaby. He had a successful career with Allen Bradley/Rockwell Automation before he retired in 1993. In sales, he travelled all over the province and made many friends along the way. Dad was active in Scouting and an active member of All Saints Anglican Church taking on many roles to support the community there. He was a long time member of the International Order of St Luke. Don and Norma enjoyed spending time together in nature with camping trips, sailing for many seasons, and at a cottage they called “Somewhere”. Dad continued to enjoy nature to the end of his life.
A Celebration of Life is to be held Monday, October 16, 2023 at All Saints Anglican Church at 2.00 pm.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Aunt Leah’s Place or BC Heart & Stroke Foundation would be appreciated.
