On behalf of the Ontario Agricultural College we offer our deepest sympathies to Don's family. Don was an exceptional alumnus of our college and a great classmate to his fellow OAC 51's. He set a tremendous example for giving back in time, talent and treasure and has set a legacy for all OAC alumni to aim to follow. He will be deeply missed by OAC. We are grateful that we got to see him recently at a luncheon celebrating the 70th anniversary of the graduation of his class of OAC 51, and here again he and his class were leading OAC. We are sad to have to say goodbye to you Don, but we are all better off because of you. Sincerely, Rene Van Acker, Dean, OAC
