Hodder, Donald Joseph It is with great
sadness that we share the passing of our loving husband, father and
poppa, Donald Joseph Hodder of St. Andrews, on Sunday, December 4,
2016 at the age of 69 at St. Martha’s Regional Hospital,
Antigonish.
Don was a son of the late Lewis and
Margaret (MacDonald) Hodder. Born in Montreal and raised in Toronto,
Don moved to Antigonish at age 18 to attend St. Francis Xavier

gardening, love for Christmas, hosting family get-togethers,
barbequing, coaching hockey and his community involvement. He was
passionate about landscaping, family traditions and
music.
Don is survived by his wife Beth
(Ferguson) and children Kyle (Angie), Melissa, Derek (Nancy), Garett
(Melanie), Elsa (Bert) Claeys; grandchildren Landon, Aria and Ruby
Hodder and Luka Claeys and brother, Ken. He was predeceased by his
brother, Wally.
