Although we have been away from Orangeville, in Myrtle Beach since February 1st, our hearts and our prayers have been in Orangeville with Lynn and her family for the last week and a half. Our shock and sadness is great but not as great as will be our continued love and respect for Don and Lynn, who we have known as friends for thirty years. Don will be sorely missed by all of those he has touched with his gentle but assured manner. Whenever Don expressed his considerd opinion on any matter, all of us listened, knowing that he was probably right. We have all lost a valued friend but there is no doubt that Don will be a welcome addition to the Heaven that he has ascended to.

Don Laverty, our Brother-In-Law. was an amazing person, who has significantly, impacted the lives of countless numbers of people by the life he lived as a husband, father, grandfather,relative,friend,colleague,business person,community organizer, sportsman,entrepreneur,leader,mentor,host,universally acclaimed culinary creator,promoter of the arts,practical joker,etc. However, I think all of the above are only a glimpse into who Don Laverty truly was and who he continues to be in the memories and the hearts of those he embraced with his life. Don had an unlimited capacity to become a part of one's life by his gentleness,his integrity,his astuteness,his humour,his consistency,his uniquness,his energy,his humility,his trustworthiness,his moral strength,his loyalty,his perseverance,his respectfulness,his understanding,his winning attitude,and most importantly, his great faith.
Don's willingness and ability to reflect the Character,Love and Nature of his Saviour and Friend, JESUS, was his greatest attribute.These qualities,I believe, are what we will all miss but if we follow Don's great example of how to Live Life, we can all have the assurance we will share life with Don for all eternity, in Heaven. We Love you Don; until we see you again.

Uncle Don was the unsuspecting mastermind behind many a joke and laugh, was infamous for quietly getting his way and was never too busy to give you a hug or tell you he loved you. I remember spending many vacations with my cousins at their house and at Wasaga Beach. I was always treated like a member of the family by both Don and Aunt Lynne. You are both so special to me and I have always enjoyed a special relationship with you both. Uncle Don, I will miss your hugs, your quick smile and your amazing Christmas letters. Most of all I will miss seeing you but I know you are well and safe in heaven. Please watch over all of us and help us to keep you in our hearts. Love you!

Uncle Don could always be counted on to take an interest in others, show obvious love for his family, be the quiet supportive uncle, write crazy Christmas letters, laugh, and whack a good golf ball. I feel his loss, but know that I'll see him again. I'm very much looking forward to sitting down with him again.
How you can show support

Don Laverty was my brother-in-law and he was a part of our Campbell family for 50 years (since 1960) when he first began dating my sister Lynne. With his quiet friendly manner he always seemed to know just the right thing to do and say. His support to me down through these many years and his love has enriched my life more than I can say. I will miss you Don though I know you are with God (that gives me peace). Your marriage to my sister Lynne was one of the best relationships I have had the honour to witness these many years and I thank you for giving my "closest sibling" such joy and happiness these 42 years.
Love Ian (Campbell)

Dear Uncle Don:
You were full of laughter, love and lived life to the fullest. You loved to joke, hike, explore, golf and travel, but most of all loved your family and God. Thank you for loving well and living well. You will be dearly missed. We uplift the family in love and prayers, knowing that isn't enough, but God is good. On Him we lean, and through Him is peace that does pass all understanding.
With love from clear across Canada...
