Palubeski, Donald M. died peacefully in his sleep, of a brain aneurysm on Sunday October 29th. He was in his 62nd year. Survived by his brother, Fr. Joe Palubeski, C.R. (of Hamilton, Bermuda), Marylin Strauss (Ron, of Waterloo) and Beverly Sieber (Joe, of Cambridge).

Donald (Donnie) was a loyal employee of William Knell Ltd. since 1977 and a member of St. Anne’s RC Church. He loved to be surrounded by his family and friends, whether it was during his many years at Point Clark or family get-togethers. Times at Dillon Cove and Lake Louisa were also special. Donald loved to golf and tried to avoid the ponds on the courses, especially at Merry-Hill Golf Course. Talking sports was a favorite past time and he was known to not miss the NASCAR races on TV. He was also eager to go out for a good meal, and if invited for dinner, always arrived early just to spend a little time with his hosts. A highlight for Donald was his recent trip to Bermuda in May. To be able to golf in Bermuda was a dream come true.
