HOSACK, Donald Arlo

 Donald Arlo Hosack passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, at Bluewater Health Hospital in Sarnia.  Don was born and raised in Simcoe, Ontario, the loving son of Glenn and Jean Hosack, younger brother of Jim, cherished husband of Bonnie, and son-in-law of Earl and Nora Rawson.

Don will forever be remembered by his best friend and beloved wife of 57 years, Bonnie (née Rawson) where they spent most of their years living in Goderich raising their family before moving to Sarnia, Ontario. He was a loving father to Jennifer (Michael) Best of Newmarket, and Sam (JoAnne) Hosack of Ilderton. He was a proud and caring Papa to Matthew (Mia) of Norwood, Ian (Amy), and Jarrett Best of Newmarket, and Nate and Maya Hosack of Ilderton. Don is also survived by his sisters-in-law, Bernice Hosack of Port Colborne and Sandra (Doug) Wallis of Goderich Township; nephews Jason (son Owen) and Jon Wallis of Goderich Township; and Danial (Morgan, daughter Kairi) Rawson of London.

 Don is reunited in peace with his parents; his brother, Jim Hosack of Port Colborne; his father- and mother-in-law, and his brother-in-law, Rick Rawson of London, who passed before him.

 Don was a devoted husband to Bonnie, a proud father to Jennifer and Sam, and a loving grandfather. He was a longtime employee of BM Ross Consulting Engineers in Goderich for over 39 years. He always enjoyed family time, gardening, travelling, golfing and an avid tinkerer to fix almost anything.
