Donald is survived by his sister Eleanor MacLean (late husband Gary). Beloved uncle to Kate MacLean (John Sheldon), Ian MacLean (Indi), and Diana Buntain. Proud great uncle to Spencer, Charlie, Graham, Cameron and Libby.

Donald was pre-deceased by his parents Alexander and Margaret Leitch (Scace) and his beloved companion Joan.

Donald was born in Hamilton on September 19, 1934. Donald's lifelong love of curling started in his youth and he curled with friends and family for many decades, into his eighties. He was a long-time member of the High Park Curling Club and the Scarborough Curling Club.

He attended Runnymede Public School, Humberside Collegiate and Etobicoke Collegiate. He was a proud alumnus and supporter of the University of Toronto where he graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce and Finance in 1958.

Donald spent most of his career as a Project Manager with the TTC, as well as studying economics and one of his biggest interests, public transportation. He loved classical music, especially Mozart, and had season tickets for the Toronto Symphony Orchestra for many years. He also loved to travel and took many trips with his companion Joan.

A special thank you to all the friends, staff and caregivers at Delmanor Prince Edward where Donald resided for the last few years, and also the team at the Dorothy Ley Hospice who cared for him in his final weeks.
