Donald worked for many contractors and Abitibi-Price as a log haul driver for over 40 years.
He loved the great outdoors and had many outings for the family enjoying cookups and swimming and playing with kids and grandkids which always put a smile on his face. He enjoyed many excursions and our Sunday drive for ice cream to Sandy Point.
Wherever Don went there was always a friendly smile for everyone he met. He was a loving devoted husband, father and grandfather. He will be missed by his family and friends.
Due to COVID-19 there will be a private family viewing with burial at the Roman Catholic Cemetery, Bishop’s Falls.
