Don has significant health problems over the years rarely complaining, accepting his fate graciously. He was a very warm, loving and friendly person; a real gentleman. Winnipeg was his home.

He loved celebrations and home was always open to all who called.

Our family would like to express their appreciation and gratitude to Dr. G. Balko, paramedics, St. Boniface Hospital doctors and amazing staff. At Don’s request cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. If desired, in lieu of flowers a donation to St. Boniface Hospital Heart Foundation or a charity of your choice.
