Don will also be remembered by his loving partner Pam Wright; beloved friend Helen Douglas; trusted assistant and friend Andrew Burrows; long-time squash mates Peter Hyman, Ted Huey, Norbert Mika, and Al Coates, and many Conestoga College colleagues and students alike. Don earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Sir George Williams University in Montreal and his Master of Arts (Honours) degree from McMaster University. Don was a professor of Criminology and Police Foundations for over 50 years. He was dedicated to teaching and inspiring young and inquisitive minds.
