Obituary

Mr. Donald Ralph Holyoke of Saint John, beloved husband of Hilda P. (Shuve) Holyoke, died peacefully at home surrounded by family on Thursday, September 26, 2002, following a courageous battle with cancer. Born in Woodstock, NB, he was the son of the late William Ralph and Grace (Smalley) Holyoke.

Following his graduation from the University of New Brunswick with an Engineering degree in 1946, Donald was employed with NB Tel for over 43 years and retired in 1985.

Don loved the peace and serenity of the River.

Besides his wife of 50 years, Hilda, he is survived by two daughters, Margaret A. Holburn of Saint John and Carolyn S. Holyoke of Ottawa, currently assigned to the Canadian High Commission in Kingston, Jamaica, one son, Wm. Ralph Holyoke (Karen) of Saint John, two grandchildren, whom he adored, Jennifer and Scott Holburn, and numerous nieces and nephews.
