He was an avid cross country skier and cyclist and had many great trips all over Canada and the US with his biking and skiing friends. Don was a great uncle, brother, and friend to so many people in the Hamilton area. He got pleasure out of helping others, and he enjoyed spending his time hanging out with friends at various bars and restaurants while watching football. Don loved driving and fixing his cars, and is most likely driving his Datsun 280 Z right now in heaven. According to Don’s wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no service however, a “Celebration of Life” will be held Tuesday June 18, 2019 from 4:00 until 6:00 at the Turner Family Funeral Home, 53 Main Street, Dundas.
