  Don Woods

1935 -  2013

 

Waterdown, and the Flamborough Heritage Society have lost a beloved individual with the sudden passing of Don Woods on Friday April 26th. Don and his wife Diane and family have lived in Waterdown since 1964. They were instrumental in researching and writing  the Waterdown and East Flambrough Centennial book in 1967 and were founding members of the Waterdown-East Flamborough Heritage Society in 1973. He gave many talks to the Society over the years and recently published The Mills of Waterdown- The growth of an Ontario Village 1790 to 1915

A true 'renaissance man', Don was also an accomplished artist, musician, and dancer. As an educator, he published over 400 articles and books as well as giving over 500 workshops around the world. He was the recipient of several honorary doctorates. To his wife of 52 years Diane, his children Suzi and Cynthia and their families, we offer our sincerest condolences.  For many people, he was "Mr. Waterdown" and he will be sorely missed.
