Don was a wonderful human being. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. I can still clearly see him working away as if it was yesterday. He certainly held a wealth of knowledge and was always willing to lend a hand. My deepest condolences to the family. He will be missed.

I had the sincere honour to work with Don at ACRO (now Vector) Aerospace before his retirement. He was technically brilliant; he was kind, gentle and a true gentlemen. While his presence will be sorely missed, Don's skills and attitude will live on in the many people who had the pleasure and good fortune to work with him.
My sincere condolences to his wife, Dianne, and to Scott.

I have fond memories of working with Don during his later career years at ACRO Aerospace (now Vector). He had risen to be a true technical specialist in his field, and was a mentor to younger technicians in the aviation industry. Don was always a firm voice of reason with a gentle approach. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this time.

Worked with Don for years and will be sadly missed. We used to have many a chat in the canteen about our retirement plans. He managed to retire a year before me. Our condolences to the family, RIP Don
