It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of a wonderful husband and father, Orley Donald Cofell of Ridgetown on Tuesday April 28, 2015 in Victoria Hospital, London. Don married his best friend Margo (Russell) Cofell 58 years ago and together they raised four children of whom he was very proud; Don Cofell of Chatham, Charlene Cofell of Highgate, Bernie Cofell of Highgate and Janice & Pascal Fernandes of Aylmer. He was the best Grandpa to Tyler & Jessica, Dylan, Jesse & Courtney and Cody and was so happy to be able to spend time with his great-grandchildren Madison, Tanner, Jazmin, Brooke-Lynn and to hold his most recent great-grandson Carter Orley. Friends will remember Don from his days working at Navistar, Peters Lumber Yard and Home Hardware. It was Don’s wish that this chapter of his life be quietly shared with his wife and children. A private family service was conducted. Interment in Gosnell Cemetery, Highgate. Blenheim Community Funeral Home entrusted with Funeral Arrangements. Friends wishing to remember Don with a memorial donation are asked to consider the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
