He was the son of Mae & Eugene Larouche, owners of the Empress Beauty Salon in New Liskeard. Don & Mick took over the salon in 1971. They moved to North Bay in 1982 when they bought the Modern Hairstyling School with sister Jackie. Don was continually active in the community.

As per his wishes there will be no visitation. A celebration of his life will be announced at a later date.
