In Memory of Reg.#13490, Sergeant D. A. Deeks


 In Memory of Reg.#13490, Donald  Alfred Deeks

'Friends Not Forgotten'

Donald Alfred Deeks was born in 1917. He joined the Force in 1940 and spent his twenty five year career between 'F' and 'E' Div's. 'Don' retired in 1965.

In the photo above, Sgt. Donald Deeks (right) is presented with the 'Caring Canadian Award' which he richly deserved. The Award was presented to Sgt. Deeks (retired) by Commissioner Murray.

Sadly, Sgt. Deeks died in 2001 which was shortly after he had accepted the Award.

Sgt. Deeds was nominated for the Caring Canadian Award by Veteran Ron Smith of Regina, SK
