DONALD WILLIAM CAMERON It is with great sadness and remorse that we announce the sudden passing of our husband, father, and grandfather Donald William Cameron, on Tuesday, March 20, 2007, in Medicine Hat, Alberta, at the age of 65 years. Don was born on March 15, 1942, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and was raised in Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan. He will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife Christa; his son Neil (Corinna), grandsons, Ian and Matthew; son Colin (Linda), grandsons, Christopher and Quinn; his daughter Anne, grandchildren, Andrew, Vincent and Stephanie; his stepson Tom Pentek (Roberta), granddaughter Haley and grandson Brandon; stepdaughter Tanya Groves (Ron), granddaughters, Nicole, Brittany, Cassandra and Samantha; along with his first wife Audrey (Sherwood). Don was predeceased by his father William (Bill); and his mother Doris. Don attended and graduated with honours from the University of Saskatchewan - he then began working in the retail industry. He worked for such companies as Zellers, Robinson Little, Big 4 Sales / Stylerite, as well as the Army Navy Dept. store in Saskatoon. He then decided to retire and go into business for himself along with his wife Christa, which became a dream of theirs, to open Your Dollar Store with More in Medicine Hat, AB. Family was extremely important to Don as he spent as much time as possible visiting with his family, his many grandchildren and friends. He and Christa enjoyed life by traveling and seeing the world - they traveled to such places as Costa Rica, Morocco, Mexico, Dominican Republic and with every chance they got, they went across the border down into the United States. Don still played his favourite sport of slo-pitch baseball with a league in Medicine Hat, and during the hockey season, he could normally be found in front of the TV bemoaning the fate of his beloved Toronto Maple Leafs. Don also gave his time to the Shriners when he lived in Saskatoon, and when he moved to Medicine Hat he then became an active member of the Medicine Hat Lodge No. 2. Flowers are respectfully declined; however, for those who wish, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Funeral viewing will be held on Sunday, March 25 at 7:00 p.m., and services will be held on Monday, March 26 at 1:00 p.m. at the Cook Southland Funeral Chapel Crematorium, 901 - 13th Street S.W., Medicine Hat, AB, with a light lunch to follow.
