DONALD ANGUS REECE Donald Angus Reece passed away peacefully at Riverview Health Centre on January 4, 2019. Predeceased by his parents, Jessie and Fred Reece, brother Albert Reece, and sister Catherine Gibson; he is survived by his wife June, sons, Clayton (Ruth) and Clint (Pam), grandsons, Brendan (Erika), Alex, CJ and Camron, brother Fred Reece (June), and many brothers and sisters-in-law, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Born on February 9, 1926, Don grew up in Faulkner, Manitoba, before marrying June and moving to Winnipeg in 1958. Throughout his adult life, Don worked in his own business ventures, first in trucking and later in service stations and a commercial cleaning business. Over his long retirement, Don especially cherished spending time with his grandchildren. He kept active with yard work as well as exercising and socializing at the Reh-Fit Centre where he was a fixture for 25 years. Don will be lovingly remembered for his easy-going nature, stories from his youth, and eagerness to help others. A memorial service will be held at Charleswood United Church on January 19, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. A private family interment will take place later this year at South East Whiteshell Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations in Don's name may be made to Siloam Mission.
