He also has many nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews who will miss Uncle Don.
Don was born in Wyndell, BC and spent his childhood in Trail before moving to Nelson as a teenager. He was married to the love of his life, Nina, for 71 years. Together they had many adventures and travelled to the USA, Mexico, Europe, and many places in Canada. He loved their cabin on Kootenay Lake. Don lived a very full life.
