Notes:

Donald Leo Sudden

Wednesday, December 21st, 1932 - Tuesday, November 22nd, 2022

Donald Sudden passed peacefully on Tuesday, November 22, 2022, just shy of his 90th birthday. Don enjoyed life and gave those around him lots of reason to smile and enjoy the day. He had many stories to tell of delivering groceries by bike in Galt, making children's shoes at Savage Shoe and repairing damaged truck bodies at Sturdy Truck Body. He served in the Army of the Canadian Armed Forces for 21 years in the Korean War, Vietnam and in Peacekeeping tours of duty. He was very active in the Korean Veterans Association of Canada and was the last President of the National Heritage Unit of KVA. For many years he was a member of the South Woolwich Optimist Club.

Don is dearly missed by his beloved wife Grace Sudden (nee Lindsay) and son Michael and his wife Linda. Remembering, with love, great times together are Lynnette and Trevor, Michelle and Kyle, Heather and Tony, Vasili, Dimitri and Calista. The Eagle family cousins and the Lindsay family brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews have many wonderful memories of being with Don and enjoying his chuckles and good humour.

He is predeceased by his brother John, parents, Edna Wheeler (Eagle), Fennel Sudden and Harry Wheeler and in-laws Eric Lindsay and Lacuta Lindsay (Kent).

Don had many hobbies over the years. He enjoyed working in his shop with wood making games, tables and other useful wood items. He took up stained glass and many of our windows have his pieces adding colour and memories. Don and Grace camped for many years at Elora Gorge and on the Bruce Peninsula besides taking trips east and west in Canada often to join with other Korea Veterans for reunions and good times together.

Cremation has taken place and a celebration of Don's life will be held on Saturday, December 17, 2022, at 10:30 a.m. at the Henry Walser Funeral Home, 507 Frederick St., Kitchener, 519-749-8467. Reception to follow.
