Don was a quiet, humble man whose incredible memory and passionate interest in history and the Justice System led him to participate in Tuxis Boys Parliament in his youth and influenced his choice of education and careers. Born and raised in Lethbridge, Don attended public school there and. graduated from the University of Lethbridge with a BA in Political Science before continuing his education at the University of Alberta obtaining a Bachelor of Law (LLB) degree. Following the closing of his Law practice, he moved to Edmonton and joined the Bosco Foundation as Development Officer where his interest in history led to the designation of the St Francis Centre as a provincial historic property.
Active in Air Cadets in his youth, Don explored his love of flying and history and made lifelong friends. He was kind hearted and generous to family and friends and those in need. Don was an avid reader and always enjoyed stimulating his intellect with robust conversations storytelling and humour. His appreciation of music and trivia was generously shared by him. However, his true passion was his motorcycles and riding the roads with his likeminded friends.
Don’s family would like to thank Dr Curtis Johnston and Dr Neil Dhami and staff at the Royal Alexandra Hospital for their compassionate care of Don during his time there.
