It is with profound sadness that we announce the loss of Don Neal who passed away peacefully in his home on Thursday, December 29, 2022 at the age of 84.

Cherished and loving partner to Janis Hannon, loving father to Mark Neal, grandfather to Ashley, Andrew (Rose) and great grandfather to Chelsea and James. Stepfather to Jennifer (Allan) Steven (Melissa) grandkids, Caden, Raya, Madison and Jack.

Don had many interests and hobbies and loved to travel.

He was a pilot who built his own plane and enjoyed time spent at the Oshawa Airport.

A Machinist by trade, Don could make just about any component you could think of loving the challenge and always coming through.

He loved to tell the story of driving his Corvette across Canada from coast to coast. You could often find Don at the local car shows showing off his prized 1960 Corvette which landed him many trophies over the years.

Don was a wonderful man who will be greatly missed.

Friends and family are welcome to attend a celebration of Don’s life Sunday, January 8th, 2023 from 1-3 pm at 420 Wing, 1000 Stevenson Road N, Oshawa, ON.
