Donald Wycliff Forster

It is with heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of Donald Wycliff Forster in his home in Calgary, Alberta on October 21, 2018. He was 78 years old.

Don is survived by his children, Dennise Stewart of Kamloops, BC and Dennis Forster of Pritchard, BC; his three grandchildren, Cody, Jennica (Eli) and Alycia (Shawn); and his three great-grandchildren, Nathanial, Noah and Lauren all of Kamloops, BC. Don is also survived by his twin sisters, Cathie Patton of Cranbrook, BC and Connie Paulger of North Vancouver, BC; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Edgar and Doris Forster.

Don was born in Kimberly, BC on July 31, 1940 and spent his childhood years in a small town situated near Kimberly called Chapman Camp which was subsequently amalgamated with Kimberly. In the late 1950’s Don moved to Calgary with his parents and sisters. In 1961 he married Darlene (Johnson) and began his family. Don spent the majority of the 1960’s through to the beginning of the 1990’s working in automotive parts sales with numerous companies situated in Calgary, Salmon Arm, Kamloops and Surrey. In 1992 Don moved to Calgary and worked as a custodian and maintenance personnel at a private school (Calgary Academy) until his retirement in 2011.

Over the years Don enjoyed skiing, curling, automobile restoration (Studebaker’s), amateur (ham) radio, computers, motorcycles, home repair jobs and especially spending time with his family.

A family service will be held at a later date in Kamloops, BC.
