SHEPHERD,
Donald McEwan "Shep"
Peacefully, after a battle with progressive supranuclear palsy,
on January 3, 2005 at St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto. Don was
born in Winnipeg on December 9, 1935 to Frank and Enid
SHEPHERD.
Mourned by his loving children Erin, Stacey, Camille and C. R.
Pre-deceased by his parents, his brother Cam (1977) and his first
wife Barbara (1993). Survived and much missed by his brother
Jim and family of Winnipeg, and by Ina
VAN
BERKEL of Toronto.
The family would like to thank their many Friends for the incredible
support they have shown. We also thank the staff at St. Michael's
Hospital, the caregivers at
SRT Med-Staff, and the staff of the
Isabel and Arthur Meighen Manor. The family would also like to
express their sincere gratitude for the comfort, care and love
provided by Don's beloved companion, Liz. Following graduation
from the University of Manitoba (B.A.) and University of Toronto
(M.B.A.), Don spent several years with Ford Motor in Oakville,
before entering the investment business. During a career that
included stints with Richardson Securities, Pitfield McKay Ross,
Draper Dobie, and finally Dominion Securities, Shep became well-known
as an institutional equity salesman. Shep was also an avid, if
impatient, golfer and long- time member of Lambton Golf and Country
Club. A celebration of Don's life will be held at Lambton, 100
Scarlett Road, Toronto, on Wednesday January 12 from 2 to 5 pm.
If desired, memorial donations can be made to the Society for
Progressive Supranuclear Palsy at www.psp.org, or the St. Michael's
Hospital Palliative Care Ward.
