Don was a successful Executive in a variety of companies throughout his career and made close friendships and relationships with the many people he worked with. He worked hard, taking great pride in his work, and was a mentor to many throughout his career.
He loved spending time with his grandchildren, friends and family. And enjoyed playing many sports, his favorites being hockey and pickleball, and watching his beloved Canucks!
