By John EDWARDS,
Page 3
Well-known
Collingwood resident Don
PARRISH died on February 12,
at Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket.
He was 77
PARRISH worked at the Collingwood Shipyards for more than 40 years
and was an avid historian.
According to Deputy Mayor Sandra
COOPER, who knew
PARRISH all
of her life, he often volunteered at the museum and was an active
member of the Harbourlands committee.
COOPER said
PARRISH was
instrumental in putting together the path of hull plates from
Huron Street to the harbour.
Former Mayor Terry
GEDDES, who gave the eulogy at
PARRISH's funeral,
said he will be sadly missed.
"When he died, not only did a piece of his family die, but so
did a piece of Collingwood,"
GEDDES said. "It's the Don
PARRISH's
that made Collingwood the community it is."
PARRISH was an avid sports fan, having played hockey for the
Stayner Royals and was regularly seen at Collingwood Blues games.
He was a fan of the Boston Bruins and Red Sox.
"You'd always see him with a Boston ball cap on," she said.
He was married to Yvonne and was a father to Stephanie, Donna
and Brenda and grandfather to Nathan, Brandon, Kayla, Becca,
Ryan and Lexi. He is predeceased by his brothers Gordon and Gary.
