Donald Edwin Perry was born on March 12th, 1930 in Winnipeg, Manitoba to Frederick and Agnes Perry. One of 12 siblings in a depression era household. Don learned early the value of consistent and reliable work habits, keen observation and clear judgment. These were to stand him in good stead for the rest of his life.  He learned water works engineering, knowledge that had practical application when he joined the Royal Canadian Navy. Serving in the RCN for two decades, Don retired in 1968 as warrant officer. In retirement, he served with the BC Provincial Coordinated Law Enforcement Unit in Victoria, retiring again in 1998. Don served with the RCN in Korea and joined several veteran’s associations after retirement. In 1980, he married Gwendolyn Evenden with whom he shared a marriage of 37 years.

He is survived by Fredwin, son from his previous marriage and many nephews and nieces. Sincere sympathy is extended to all family members and friends at this time of loss of a “favorite uncle and friend”.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Don’s name to a charity of your personal choice.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive on Friday, August 25, 2017, at 2 pm.

Condolences may be offered to the family below.
