FORBECK, Donald John "Don" In loving memory of Don Forbeck, 71 years of Lively who passed away peacefully Sunday evening, January 25, 2004 at the Sudbury Regional Hospital - Laurentian Site, after a courageous battle with kidney disease. He was born in Poole, Ontario and married Aldene (Moxam) in 1954 in Sudbury. An accomplished mechanic, Don worked at INCO for 32 years, retiring from Creighton Mine in 1985.
