We would also like to acknowledge his loyal employees at Big D's Welding in Stonewall, who were like family to Don. Don was born on December 16, 1958 in St. Jean Baptiste, MB. His heart, generosity, professional mannerism, innovative mind, loyalty, dedication and honest demeanour made him the man we will never forget. Sitting around the shop Friday afternoon (after 4:30), the ever more popular Christmas parties and more recently Big D's Annual Skeet Shoot, were just a few examples of the memorable times he shared with the people he loved.
