Don graduated from Queen’s University with a degree in Civil Engineering in 1958. He was instrumental in the design and construction of the St. James Bridge in Winnipeg and the Gardiner Expressway in Toronto. 

Don had a long career in the development of land and building residential housing throughout Southern Ontario and was on the Board of Directors with the Toronto Home Builders Association for many years. He later went on to form Coach Hill Homes which built exclusive custom homes in Pickering and Aurora.

After moving to Keswick, he became a licensed Real Estate agent. Upon retirement, Don served on multiple Town of Georgina committees but was most proud of his time spent on the Keswick Cemetery Board. He also enjoyed the friendly competition playing pool at Club 55 and the many friends and individuals that brought him joy in his daily life.
