DONALD ROCKY DARRYL
HALFYARD
Left to cherish Donald's memory are his loving children, John, Meghan, James and Robert (Courtney); grandchildren, Jack, Violet, Alexander, Van and Maren; his mother, Marion Fidler; sister Shannon McRae and nephew Jason (Linda); sister Regan Halfyard and brother Kelly Halfyard (Jo-Ann). He was predeceased by his father Don Halfyard; stepfather George Fidler and brother-in-law Ken McRae.
The son of a military man, Donald grew up in Shilo, Antwerp, Borden and Bramalea. He joined the navy as an electrician after high school. Subsequently, Donald joined Kelly at Canadian Pacific Railway and retired as a conductor in 2008. Upon retirement, Donald hit the open road on his motorcycle and travelled out to Newfoundland where he met countless relatives. Donald talked to everyone. He had many passions which included reading Second World War books and everything else, owning Victorian homes, working on model boats, collecting hot wheels and music, playing hockey (goaltender), and riding his bicycle out amongst the Brandon hills. His greatest passions were his children and mother, followed closely by his Harley Davidson motorcycles.

What a long, strange trip it's been.
