Not sure what to say?

This man will be missed, never can take my memories away, had some of the happiest days of my life with uncle Don loved him and I will miss him sorry for Kam ,Becky.

Uncle Don, one of the best Uncles ever. We all loved him. Some of my best memories as a kid were being at Aunt Shirley and Uncle Don's house hanging out with Kam and Becky. Families were strong back in those days. We still are today but we have to make good memories now while we still can. Love you Kam and Becky and kids. My love reaches out to you both.

I have fond memories of Don when they lived on Shappie Rd. He and my dad were good buddies and helped each other out with numerous projects. He was a very positive influence on my life and I send my deepest sympathy to his family

I have so many wonderful memories as a child from weekend sleepovers to riding horses and Christmas gatherings at Uncle Don and Aunt Shirley's. But my most favorite memory was when Uncle Don would sing me my song " Tammy" He would say to me " You want me to sing you your song?" And of course I always said yes! Thank you Uncle Don for always singing my song..
