Don was my most favoured and respected Professor at Ivey MBA. I looked forward to his classes very much and prepared diligently for them as you never knew........ He not only taught me so well but his sensitivity also helped me overcome a personal issue that had been with me since childhood. A Stellar Man. God Bless You Don. Thank you.

Condolences to the Thain family on the loss of Don. What a full and productive life of love, faith and service! I had been aware of Dr. Thain's distinguished academic and business career, less so of his significant contributions to athletics at Western. Sending gentle thoughts as you gather to comfort one another and celebrate the memory of this singularly exceptional person.
