Donald leaves behind a successful farming legacy, surrounded by good friends, family and community filled with fond memories of him. He took great pride in his grandchildren and great grandchildren, sharing his stories, skills and wisdom. Ever devoted to his community, Donald was very active with St. Paul’s Anglican Church and, in earlier years, the Shawville Odd Fellows Lodge.
