August 21, 1938 – July 31, 2023
at the age of 84 years:
It’s with much sadness that my husband and best friend ,father and stepfather has passed away from battling strokes for 3 years.
Don worked for BC Railway from 1950-1993 when he retired. Don and Barb moved to Salmon Arm then to run a B&B Cinnamon Stick for 10 years. He then got a job driving for Salmon Arm transit which he just loved as driving was one of his hobbies.
Don and Barb also enjoyed hiking,biking,x country skiing,snowshoeing,and kayaking so throughly enjoying the Shuswap.
Don always had a smile on his face and was a great person to have as a friend.
R.I.P Don from all your family and friends and of course Sadie (your loving little pet dog).
Barb

Just spoke with Bob and was so sorry to hear of Don’s passing. I know how devastating it is to lose your partner and you were very close. You’ve biked, hiked and traveled more than most so hope those memories are of comfort. Sincerely, Reita
