Don was a humble man with a sense of humour second to none. Don was born in Regina, Sk. July 5, 1953.

They welcomed their four children in the years to follow. Don loved his family and being a good Husband and Dad is what he did the best. He worked tirelessly to provide for his family and made many sacrifices to ensure everyone had what they needed.

Don had a very diverse career. He spent a short time working for SGI in Regina and Case IH in Raymore. He eventually settled into his thirty-one year career in the Credit Union system.
