DONALD JOHN BOSMA Donald John Bosma, long-time resident of Pine Falls, Manitoba, passed away peacefully on November 3, 2011 in Mackenzie, BC, his home for four years. Born in 1917 in Holland, he came to Canada as a child with his brother, Martin. He lived through the depression, served in the Canadian Navy during the Second World War, and settled in Pine Falls where he married and had his family. A husband, a father, and a grandfather, his family always was the most important part of his life. He is survived by his wife Betsy, children Vida (and Mark) Robillard, Ross (and Emily) Bosma, and Mark (and Deborah) Bosma. Eight grandchildren treasure memories of their Grampa: Anna and Kate Robillard; Lisa Moss, David and Kaitlin Bosma; and Meghan, Brittany and Lindsey Bosma. Don was predeceased by his brothers Martin, Sipka and Terry Bosma. Family will gather at a future date to celebrate his life.
