RIP Don White....
From the Ontario Regiment Museum:
"Today [17 June] we say goodbye to our dear friend Trp Don White of the Royal Canadian Dragoons.
Don was a Second World War Veteran, serving in Italy and NW Europe. Always a proud and active member of his community in Oshawa, ON; Don passed peacefully this morning with family by his side.
At the age of 16, he joined his local militia unit in the Durham Region; The Ontario Regiment and at the age of 18 volunteered for overseas service. Following training he was deployed to Italy and assigned to the Royal Canadian Dragoons.
Don would continue to serve his community right up to his passing as a member and volunteer of our Museum. Active in providing tours to youth, attending local remembrance ceremonies, and doing his part to educate our community on our proud Canadian military heritage and honour those who did not return from their service during the Second World War.
He will be greatly missed by his family, his community in Oshawa, the Royal Canadian Dragoons and his friends at this museum to which he dedicated so much of his time.
Sir your watch has ended, May you rest in peace.
Thank you for your service to our country, your endless work in our community, and most of all for your friendship and kindness to all who knew you.
Bold & Swift | Audax et Celer"
