He worked as a stevedore at Marine Atlantic for 35 years and in his spare time, delivered gravel and coal to the surrounding area. Don was an avid walker and rarely missed his nightly stroll with his brother David. Their walks always led them to the Miners Manor to visit and care for the love of his life Esther. He never missed a day with her; he was always by her side. He could just as often be found in his favourite spot, sitting on his front deck overlooking Indian Beach with his brother Russie and good friend Albert. In his early years, Don enjoyed camping with his family and spent many weekends at the family trailer in Lake Ainsley. He was a dedicated father and husband who worked hard to care for his wife and seven children.
