Don was born in Nova Scotia and moved with his family when he was 11 years old to the Sudbury area. He worked at Falconbridge from 1968 to 1999. Don was a member of First Baptist Church where he volunteered as a deacon, envelope secretary (25 yrs), and as a board member of Teddy Bear Day Care. Hockey was a lifetime enjoyment and ‘Doc’ volunteered for many years mostly as a trainer and then equipment manager in his later years. He was inducted into the Valley East Sports Hall of Fame in 2007 for his many years of volunteering. He was also involved with Scouting as a leader in Beavers and Boy Scouts. Don ‘Doc’ was a friend to many and will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him. A loving husband, father, grandfather, he remains always an example of dedication to family and faith.
