It is with broken hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of our Husband/Dad/Grandpa/Great Grandpa who left us Tuesday, October 10,2023.

Don was a humble man with a sense of humour second to none. Don was born in Regina, Sk. July 5, 1953. He lived on the family farm south of Serath, Sk. until the age of five when the family moved to Serath. Don grew up helping run the family owned local store. Don attended school is Serath until grade eight then continued his schooling in Raymore, Sk. until he graduated. He was active throughout highschool on the curling and football teams. Don also played on Serath’s local softball team. Don met Irma Focht in high school and they were married shortly after graduating on May 20, 1972. 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. Starting as a Teller and diligently working his way up to Branch/Ag Manager and held General Manager positions until his retirement in 2007 for the “first time”. In 2008 Don went back to work doing contract work for the Credit Union and finally in 2015 he decided to retire for the “second time” permanently.
Don had many other interests aside from his family and career. He spent sometime exploring politics and was elected the NDP candidate for Last Mountain Touchwood constituency. Don also served as Mayor of Cupar,Sk. and was alderman on Cupar town council for five years. He also sat on the Cupar Volunteer Ambulance and Co-op boards. Don remained active in every community he belonged to. Don will be deeply missed by his family and everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.

I met Don at SGIO in about 1972. He was a jokster anf a great guy ti work with. Our paths crossed a few time as I stayed with SGI for 37 years. My condolences to the family.
I am so saddened by the loss of Don. Brian and I considered Don and Irma like family, very special to us, and our favorite travelling companions. His loss leaves a huge hole in my heart, and I know if Brian were still with us, he'd be crushed at the loss of his friend since grade one. It's so hard to believe they are both gone within three months of each other. I hope they are together, discussing the state of politics, and causing good trouble.
In the days and weeks that follow Perhaps you’ll often find That even long-lost memories Will slip into your mind, And suddenly your loved one Won’t seem so far from you… You’ll think of touching stories, The things you used to do, And favorite family moments In which you all took part – These souvenirs of happy times Will keep them close at heart. Deepest Sympathy.
