Don was the loving father of Sharon (Art Drimmie), Brian (Susan) and Bruce (Mary Anne). Proud Grandpa of Leah, Kyle, Eric, Laura, Cara, Scott, Stephanie, Jennifer and their families. Don was many things: a skilled tradesman, a passionate outdoorsman and conserva- tionist, an avid reader and a talented natural musician. Whether tinkering with equipment, trolling the lake at the camp, playing his squawk box, enjoying a piece of apple pie or relaxing in his recliner, Don was happiest when surrounded by family (including his lapcat, Ashley) and friends. Don endeared himself to everyone he met. He had a generous and kind heart, an easy smile and the ability to make us all laugh. Don's crazy sense of humour stayed with him until the end. Heartfelt thanks to the staff of the Waterford, Oakville for their care, support and compassion. Thanks also to the at-home caregivers for their tremendous help and kindness. Due to the Covid-19 restrictions, a funeral service will be held by invitation on Friday, October 30, 2020 at 2 p.m. followed by cremation. Please see the link at www.oakviewfuneral.ca to view the livestream. If so desired, donations in Don's memory to The Alzheimer Society of Hamilton and Halton would be sincerely appreciated by the family. Online condolences may be made at www.oakviewfuneral.ca.

JOHNSTONE, Beverly and David ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Mom and Dad, You showed us strength by being gentle. You taught us integrity by being yourselves. You gave us love by always being there.

A sweet little flower, nipped in the bud, no grief or sorrow knew; just came to earth to win our love and then to Heaven withdrew. No stain was on your little heart, sin had not entered there; and innocence slept sweetly on that pale white brow so fair. You were too pure for this cold earth, too beautiful to stay, and so God's holy angel bore our darling one away. A loving person, so gentle and kind; what a wonderful memory you left behind. Always so good, unselfish and kind, none on this earth your equal I'll find. Honourable and true in all your ways, loving and faithful to the end of your days, honest and liberal, ever upright, just in your judgment, always right; loved by your friends and all whom you knew, one in a million, that person was you. One year has passed, our hearts still sore, as time rolls on we miss you more; a loving person, tender and kind, what beautiful memories you left behind. And have you gone, forever gone and left us here to weep. Till we are called to follow you, and in the grave to sleep; yet since you could no longer stay to cheer us with your love, we hope to meet with you again in the bright world above. 1-800-263-6480 classifieds@metroland.comCLASSIFIEDS OBITUARIES | ANNOUNCEMENTS | JOBS | MARKETPLACE OBITUARIESSPECIAL OCCASIONS IN MEMORIAM
