Flags will be lowered in memory of Don Herring, Air Brakes Instructor, who passed on Feb. 3.
Don was born in Edmonton, AB and obtained his education in Vancouver, BC. He was with 澳门六合彩开奖结果查询 College for 12 years and is fondly remembered by those he worked with.
鈥淒on was one of the most welcoming people that I have met,鈥 says Tanya Tarlit, Program Administrator with Trades and Apprenticeship. 鈥淲hen I took over the role of Program Administrator, he would always reassure me that I was doing a good job and would phone me weekly to check in on me. He was my biggest cheerleader.鈥
When he wasn鈥檛 busy helping and cheering on those around him, Don enjoyed riding his motorcycle and camping.
鈥淟ife is like a train ride that we all take. As we ride along on the train people get on and off, some for a short period and others for a longer period. Don aka 鈥淔ish鈥 boarded my train 29 years ago,鈥 said Dean Clark, Don鈥檚 friend, co-worker and fellow air brake and driving instructor. 鈥淒on looked out for people when they were having trouble by offering words of support, meeting them for coffee and helping to identify potential opportunities. He always wanted to help others 鈥 whether that was by sharing his knowledge about air brakes or driver training, or helping people like me become instructors.鈥
鈥淲hile Don鈥檚 stop has come, we will continue on our train ride, have a coffee and reflect on the moments we shared with Fish,鈥 added Clark.
