Remembering Donald Easton

January 27, 2023

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of one of our firm’s former name partners, Donald Easton, at the age of 99.

A World War II veteran, born and raised in Vancouver, Donald amassed many remarkable stories over his long life and career. For those that knew him, knew him to be an energetic and well-travelled individual. Donald spent 61 years as a practicing lawyer during which he developed a busy practice in the fields of corporate/commercial law, tax law, and wills and trusts. He joined our firm in 1965 and it shortly thereafter became known as “Harper Grey Easton,” a name it held for more than 20 years.

Donald was an integral member of our firm and the legal community in general, and will always be remembered at Harper Grey.
