Kennell, Donald Fraser ‘Don’
Don passed away peacefully on Wednesday, October 20, 2021 with his wife and dog by his side at Grey Bruce Health Services in Meaford at the age of 71.
His departure was just in time to avoid another Canadian winter, he hated the cold.
Born in Epping, England he immigrated to Canada in 1972, residing in Collingwood. He is survived by his loving wife Gale, awesome dog Mickey and far too many cats to list.
Don is also survived by his mother Anne Kennell and his brother Joe Kennell, who both reside in North Yorkshire, England.
Don was a very passionate animal lover of cats, dogs, squirrels, chipmunks, birds, raccoons, skunks etc. He would feed them all and save them from injury if possible, even keeping them in the house until they were ready to be returned outside, much to his wife dismay. He eventually learned to tolerate snakes after his wife taught him about their value in the ecosystem. Don was known as ‘Donny Dolittle’ during his employment at Pilkington Glass in Collingwood for his many animal stories and antics.
He believed the saying “LIFE IS SHORT EAT DESSERT FIRST” and that everything tasted better with CHOCOLATE on it.
