Don and Helen were an adventurous pair and enjoyed many travels abroad, including teaching at the Canadian International School in Singapore. Don and Helen were avid sailors and spent many splendid hours with children, grandchildren and friends, often on their sailboat, and later in life, on the Driftin’ Inn, a classic 1987 Chris-Craft Catalina. Don’s special interests included building and renovating houses, woodworking, chess, private equity investing, and spending winters in Naples, Florida. Don enjoyed and loved his many friends and colleagues and will be sadly missed. He had many wonderful memories of good times together. A Celebration of Life will be planned at a later date.
