In Celebration of

Donald Gordon Comrie

February 18, 1948 - May 30, 2022

It is with great sadness that the family of Don Comrie announce his passing on Monday, May 30th. Don was a kind, devoted and generous soul who walked daily with his God and touched the lives of all he encountered.

Don worked as a Canadian Border Services Officer for over 30 years, finishing his career as an Operations Chief at Pearson International Airport.

Don was an avid fisherman and boater. He loved spending time at the family cottage on the lake, where he served as president of the Wah-Wash-Kesh Conservation Association for many years.

Don was predeceased by his parents, Donald and Jean Comrie, and sister-in-law, Lynne. He is survived by his brother, George (Joan). He will be missed dearly by his nieces, Sarah, Rachel, Deborah (Bryan) and Rebecca, as well as his great-niece Abby and great-nephew Eli. He will be fondly remembered by his friends.

Memorial donations may be made to the West Parry Sound Health Centre Foundation, or the charity of your choice.

A celebration of Don’s life will be held on Wednesday, June 8th at 11:00am at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church Islington, 3819 Bloor Street West, Etobicoke, with a reception following in the fellowship hall. Masking appreciated.

A reception is also being planned for later this summer (tentatively the Civic Holiday weekend) at Wah-Wash-Kesh for those in the Whitestone Community who wish to remember Don.
