1932 – 2021
Don passed away at his home in Didsbury, AB on Monday, March 15, 2021 at the age of 88 years.
He will be lovingly remembered by his partner, Verna; son, Doug; and extended family. Don was predeceased by his wife, Shirley; daughter, Phyllis; and sister, Jean Howden.
Don was active in his community, volunteering for Friends of the Didsbury Library, sitting on the board of directors for ASC for Olds, and Rosebud Health Foundation of Didsbury.

Don was an avid stamp collector, collecting both Canadian stamps & stamps related to scouting.
