Don was born on October 18, 1932 in Taber, Alberta.

He was the beloved husband of Jennie Stalker (née Svrsek) and the loving and extremely proud father of Amy Elizabeth Stalker of Calgary, and sons, Gregory Donald Stalker and Kevin David Stalker of Lethbridge. Don is survived by his brother Doug Stalker, sisters, Verna Wolochaty and Lorna (Mike) Phelan as well as many, many nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his sisters, Ruth and Joyce, and his brother Grant.

Don worked at the Canada Agriculture Research Station for 36 years. It was there that he met Jennie and they were married on June 24, 1967. They would be celebrating their 58th anniversary next month.

After they both retired, they enjoyed travelling. They drove across Canada, visited the Czech Republic, Spain, Scotland, China, Peru, Australia, New Zealand and Ireland.

With respect, we are honouring his request that there will be no funeral.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Don’s memory to the Jack Ady Cancer Centre, c/o Chinook Regional Hospital Foundation (crhfoundation.ca)
