  Lawrence Bowers

  Maureen and Joshua, I'm saddened to hear of Don's passing. Both myself and Deanna thought kindly of him. Don was one of the first people to welcome us to the area when we moved in next door almost 13 years ago. Don and yourself Maureen, are two of the kindest people we've come to meet in our neighborhood. We're going to miss the little chats in the front yard either cleaning snow or mowing the lawn. He always had some advice on how to get the grass greener or easier way to clear of the weeds. He was very knowledgeable. Please accept condolences on behalf of your neighbours, Lawrence and Deanna Bowers. Rest In Peace Don,

  I also worked with Don for many years with Atco Electric. Don had a keen eye with paperwork and the handwriting to go with it. He could also quote most safety rules by memory. Our sincere condolences to Maureen and family. Rest in Peace Don. Dave and Melissa Makarenko

  I had so many great memories, couple come to mind spend so many great times at the Barnett family cabin at sturgeon when Don and I were in the early teens. We always fished in front of the cabin rowing the 12 aluminum boat out to our favourite fishing spot. It was a very hot afternoon and the fishing was fantastic. We didn't pay much attention to the huge cloud bank that showed up just over the cabin until it was to late a white sheet of Hail came over the cabin packed by a very strong wind. Don started to paddle towards shore but it didn't do us any good we heading towards the middle of the lake hit by golf ball sized hail stones. Both Don and I thought this is it, after about 15 minutes the sky cleared and we found ourselves in the middle of the lake frozen and in shock. Andy came out and pulled us to shore. Don and I played a lot of golf together we also drank a few Rums on the course, one junior open we only made it to hole 6. The game was over to drunk to hit the ball we need the Course Marshall to take us back to the club house, funny thing is Don and I both had a chance to win the open. I have tears written this Don was just a great Freind a a very kind sole. RIP Don

  Rest in peace Donny I worked with Don from 1981 till 1997 when we were Alberta power I was a new hire when I worked with him I think Don was one of the first lineman that called me Rookie and even 25 plus years later he would still call me rookie ! I guess the name just stuck!! Or at least Don thought so lol! Many fond memories working with Don on trouble calls and lightning and wind storms !! I'm sure if there's power to be fixed in lineman heaven Don will gladly give a helping hand ! Condolences from Jackie and Roger Boyd from Valleyview Ab to Maureen and all family and friends ! Always remembered but never forgotten 😘
