Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryDONALD LLOYD GALLINGER July 2, 1948 April 10, 2017 We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Donald Gallinger at the age of 68. Don was a loving husband and will be dearly missed by his wife of 42 years, Maria; his brother Ray (Sue); his sister Lorraine (Ken) Carter; sister-in-law Evelyn (Allan) Gogush; brothers-in-law, Donald (Ellen) Buccini, John (Carole) Buccini and Paul (Deb) Buccini; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, family and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, Harry and Opal Gallinger and brothers, Albert and Allen. Don was raised in Eriksdale, Manitoba and worked for Canada Trust for 25 years. He was a successful businessman and earned the trust of his clients and the respect of his colleagues. He worked in both the Winnipeg and Vancouver offices and returned to Winnipeg in 2002, retiring after being diagnosed with Parkinson's. Don was a gentle and quiet man who enjoyed many of life's simple things like reading the newspaper, doing jumble puzzles and sketching cartoons. He had a rare talent for subtle humour and enjoyed laughter and the many good times that came at family gatherings. A special thank you to the staff at the Victoria Hospital, 5th floor south, for Don's compassionate care. In keeping with Don's wishes, cremation has taken place and a celebration of his life will be held on Thursday, April 20, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. in the Coutu Funeral Home, 680 Archibald Street. In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations in memory of Don may be made to the Canadian Parkinson's Society or a charity of your choice. E.J. COUTU & CO.

I was fortunate to have worked with Don in the 1970's and 1980's at Canada Permanent Trust. My husband and I formed a friendship with Don and Maria that continues today. Don was quiet, kind, well respected and a gentleman. We have lost one of the good guys. Our deepest sympathy to Maria and the family. Mom and Pat also send their condolences. - Posted by: Diane and Jerry Chernecki (co-worker) on: Apr 16, 2017
