After many years in both Winnipeg and Regina, Don and Shirl moved to Airdrie, AB in 2004. In addition to Don's passion for reading, he enjoyed his family, entertaining friends, gardening, politics and CFL games.

A celebration of Don's life will be held on Sunday, October 11, 2009 in Airdrie (details to be determined). Funeral arrangements provided by Foster's Garden Chapel, Calgary.
