His family remembers him as a kind, loving, gentle, strong and smart man.
At the age of 69 Donald didn’t slow down. He loved working as a Diesel mechanic and welder, going on vacations, taking weekly drives with his love Jennifer to their favourite place in Port Perry, sporting all the latest styles from his favourite sporting goods stores- he especially loved his collection of running shoes and often bragged to his grandchildren that he had better kicks then they did!!
Donald will be deeply missed by the three leading ladies in his life. His wife Jennifer of 46 years, daughter Andrea (Doug), Jaclyn (Grant) and most affectionately by his cherished Grandchildren who can he heard calling him “Pops” “Grandpa Don” or “Bestie” by his best buddy Grayson.
Donald was deeply loved by his sisters Alison and Pam, his cousin Patty, Richard, his work family at Miller Waste where he spent the last 20+ years of his career as a Diesel Mechanic and Welder, and of course by all his extended family and friends.
He is pre deceased by his parents Angus and Kathleen, his in-laws Angus and Oenone, his wonderful friends Gaynor and Phyllis, and many other family members who lovingly welcomed him in Heaven.
