Donald Garfield Sherlock
1941-2019
Donald Garfield Sherlock, 77, of Lewis Mountain
passed away Friday, March 22, 2019 at the Moncton
Hospital.
Born in Sault St. Marie, Ontario he was the son of
the late Melvin and Patricia (Mooney) Sherlock. Donald
enrolled in the Royal Canadian Navy in 1961 as an Airborne Electronic
Sensor Operator (AESOp). His career brought him through the
unification of the Canadian Armed Forces, and finally ending his
career in 1989 in the Royal Canadian Air Force. Don’s
travels brought him from Australia to Toronto and many ports in
between. He had the honour to fly in the Tracker and the Sea King and
to land on ships such as the HMCS Bonaventure, HMCS Saguenay and many
more. He served much of his career stationed at CFB
Greenwood and CFB Shearwater. His trade may have ended his career in
the RCAF, but he was always a SAILOR at heart. Donald was a member of
the Royal Canadian Legion Havelock Branch #86. He loved his sports,
enjoyed reading and was a great storyteller.
He is survived by his wife Marie-Ange Sherlock;
daughters Juanita Sherlock, Halifax and Susan Bradet (Yves), Moncton;
sons Adam Sherlock (Courtney), Cow Bay, NS, Gene Biddiscombe
(Murielle), Moncton, Ken Biddiscombe (Jan), Dartmouth, NS and Scott
Biddiscombe (Rose Marie), Dieppe; sisters Sharon and Lee-Anne; brother
Derek; several grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents he was predeceased by his brother

Cancer Society or a charity of choice would be appreciated by the
