Prior to his retirement Donnie began his career by attending

Campobello. He then left his teaching position to go to work for
Connors Brothers as an Electrician and later became the Electrical
Supervisor. Donnie continued to upgrade his education through night
school and became an Electrical Engineer. He retired from Connors
Brothers when he was 63, although staying on as a consultant, and then
went to work for Silk Stevens in St. George where he remained until
the age of 78. Donnie was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting and
fishing when able. He was known as a collector, who enjoyed collecting
coins, stamps and vinyl records. He was also a sports enthusiast who

he loved to be surrounded by books and knowledge. Donnie was a former
member of the New Brunswick Fish and Game Association as well as the

very spiritual person who loved his Lord and Savior and enjoyed
serving in his Church. He served as a worship leader for several years
with Pastor Fred Farren at the Four Squares Gospel Church as well as
recently serving as a board member with Gateway Cathedral in St.
Stephen. He will be remembered by many as a reliable person and was

his faith. He will be forever loved by his family and
friends.
