He was preceded in death by his first wife Ruth, his son, Terry, his second wife, Marlene, his brother, Albert (Halifax) and his sisters, Elsie Ayres (Dartmouth) and Marie MacDonald (Windsor, NS).

Don’s second career was general manager of the Ottawa Branch of Lakeshore Mayflower for many years. Such was his love of the moving business that he continued as a consultant even after his retirement.
