His sister Mary and sisters-in-law Rose, Sandy and Lorraine remember him with love. Don graduated from East York Collegiate Institute and then attended the University of Toronto for one year.

He enjoyed a long and distinguished career in the OLS, he was on the council and later became the President for one year in 1981. Don loved to curl, skate, and ski.

Survived by his loving wife Pamela, of 66 years; brother Dave (Thecla); four children, Lorna (Jorge), Dan Jr. (Dympna), Stanley (Beth), and Margaret- Ann. Remembered fondly by his 6 grandchildren, as well as numerous nieces and nephews, Dan also got to meet 4 of his 7 great-grandchildren. Predeceased by his brother Stanley, and sisters Gertrude, Anne, and Martha. Dan was born in Jasmin, Saskatchewan, and moved east with his family to the Ottawa Valley in 1940. He enlisted in the RCAF in 1943. After his discharge from the RCAF in 1945 where he served as an air gunner with Bomber Command (mid-upper gunner, Lancaster bombers) in England, Dan had a long and illustrious career with the survey department of Ontario Hydro, starting as a chainman, and rising to the position of Chief Surveyor. After retiring, Dan continued for many years as a consultant for the Association of Ontario Land Surveyors. He and Pam also enjoyed many years of travel across North America and Europe. During the last several decades of his life, Dan dedicated himself to making hand-tied rosaries, which he shipped to missions all around the world. Dan made over 80,000 rosaries before arthritis in his hands stopped him from tying all the knots necessary.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at Holy Name of Mary Catholic Church, 134 Bridge Street, Almonte, on Saturday morning, January 12th at 11 o'clock.
