WISSER _ Donald Thomas October 17, 1957- May 9, 2007 With heavy hearts we
announce the passing of a soulmate, companion and father. Although leaving
us at the young age of forty-nine he left with a place in the hearts of all
who knew him. Don was always able to see the positive in any situation and
in turn uplift spirits with his great sense of humour. It's doubtful there
was another more willing to offer aid to any friend or acquaintance who
expressed a need. He was always a leader and teacher; it gave him great joy
to share his wisdom with those willing to learn. God bless him in life and
now in death as we were blessed to have known him. Don was born in New
Westminster, the son of Alfred and Annette Wisser (Cote). Brother to
Margaret and Teresa, Dennis and Leonard (Predeceased). Unfortunately he also
leaves behind three children, Bryan, Trenton and Cierra. May we all pray for
them in his absence. A Celebration of Don's Life will be held on Thursday,
May 17th, 2007 at 1:00 p.m. at Garden Hill Funeral Chapel located at 224th
Street in Maple Ridge. Don was truly a wonderful person and will be deeply
missed by many. I wish for you to have peaceful dreams Donny and be sure to
save me a place at your side as I am missing being with you far too much
already.
