<div itemprop="description">Passed away peacefully in his 88th year <br> <br>on Monday, February 15, 2016. Beloved <br> <br>husband of June Williams (Hipkiss) for <br> <br>67 years. Loving father to Debra Babcock <br> <br>(Brent), Patricia Mayer, Richard (Lorrie), <br> <br>and Mary Chatterton (John). Predeceased <br> <br>by their infant son, Donald Bruce. Cherished <br> <br>grandfather to Chris, Daniel, Stephanie, <br> <br>Brendan, Taylor, Chelsea, Jessica and Collin. <br> <br>Will be sadly missed by his brother Howard <br> <br>(Judith) and sister Mona McGill (Larry). Don's <br> <br>first love has always been for his family. <br> <br>During his life he was also fortunate to have <br> <br>three other loves. The first was his passion <br> <br>to fly planes, a career defined only by <br> <br>pleasure and never just a job. Second was <br> <br>his love for playing the bagpipes where he <br> <br>played and competed with 3 bands in Ottawa, <br> <br>The Campbell Pipe Band, The Ottawa Police <br> <br>Band and The Canadian Forces Air Command <br> <br>Pipes and Drums. Third was his love for <br> <br>playing bridge with his soulmate and friends. <br> <br>A life well lived and enjoyed. The family would <br> <br>like to express their sincere appreciation to all <br> <br>staff and doctors at the Civic Hospital, Alta <br> <br>Vista Manor, General Hospital, and the Glebe <br> <br>Centre with a special thanks to all staff at the <br> <br>Glebe Centre for their compassion in his final <br> <br>moments. A memorial will be held at a later <br> <br>date at Union Cemetery near St. Thomas, <br> <br>Ontario. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations <br> <br>are welcome to either the Ottawa Heart Institute, <br> <br>the Heart and Stroke Foundation, or the <br> <br>Canadian Cancer Society. <br> <br></div>
