BLACK, Donald Harvey Fraser. Peacefully at Central Park Lodge, Ottawa on Friday, May 21, 1999 in his eighty-eighth year. Predeceased by his wife, Nancy Lytle. Loving father of Michael (Trish) of Victoria, British Columbia, Linda (Reg Evans) and Peter (Heather). Dear granddad to Nancy, Fraser, Jeremy, Cameron, Andrew, Norah and six great-grandchildren. Also survived by brother, Bill of Calgary, Alberta. Don was born in Toronto, Ontario in 1911. He was raised in Montreal and graduated from McGill University in Law. Don felt privileged to have been a public servant in the Tommy Douglas government of Saskatchewan. He spent these most satisfying years of 'work' advising the government in the area of industrial development. His expertise was also shared with national governments in Ceylon, Egypt, and British Guyana. He spent the last years of his public service with the Canadian International Development Agency in Ottawa. His love of service to others continued well into retirement through his several terms as Britannia Yacht Club Treasurer and as a faithful volunteer with the West End Achievers. Friends may call at the Westboro Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes, 403 Richmond Road, Ottawa, Monday from 6 to 9 p.m. A memorial service will be held Tuesday, May 25, 1999 at 2 p.m. in the Chapel of the Funeral Home. Interment Capital Memorial Gardens will follow. In memory of Don, donations to Oxfam or Amnesty International would be greatly appreciated.
