WILMUT - Donald F.
Born August 12, 1943 near Perdue. Don earned his wings Thursday, January 16, 2020.
Moving to Saskatoon early in life, he attended Westmount Elementary and Bedford Road Collegiate, then worked at SaskTel until his retirement in 1994.
Don was predeceased by his wife Fran, his parents Olive and Arnold, sister-in-law Cheryl Keller and nephew Mark Benson. He is survived by his two daughters Deena Karmark and Kristie Wilmut, his son Patrick (Christine) Wilmut, his grandchildren Connor, Emma and Abby, and sisters Sylvia Regush and Marguerite (Lascelles).
Don enjoyed so many things in life: playing hockey on the Saskatoon Berries and Red Wings in the Old Timers League; driving (and fixing) one of the many antique vehicles he owned over the years; spending time at Big Shell Lake with his family and endless walks at the off-leash dog park with friends and family (four legged and two legged!). Don was always happiest when he was able to fix something or help someone out. He was always quick with a joke and loved to laugh.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Sherbrooke Community Centre. In accordance with Don's wishes a Private Family Memorial will be held.

I have many memories of Donny. Only knew him as a little boy cause he lived Nextdoor and Sylvia (his sister) and I were best friends. So sorry to learn of his passing. RIP
