It was with sadness that I learned of Don's passing. My sincere condolences to you Olga on the loss of your beloved husband. I have many wonderful memories of you both from years ago at Equitation Élysées. Take care.

You have lost a unique man, who pursued many interests - personal and professional. And always first class!

My wish for the Martz Family is that you keep Don's legacy alive - care for each other as he would have at this time.

Dear Olga, please receive my very sincerest condolences. It was with great sadness that I learned about Don's passing.My thoughts are with you.

Dear Olga,

When I was Executive Producer with CTV, working out of CFCF between August 1965 and August 1967, having just emigrated from the UK, Don couldn't have been kinder or more thoughtful in making me feel at home, and giving me every possible assistance to do my job. Lis and I send you our love and condolences, and thank you for the memories.

To Olga & family, Marc and I would like to extend our deepest sympathy for the loss of a well loved man such as Don. We have fond memories of you both when you owned Windedge... but the one that comes to mind foremost is when you came to the house in Martintown and saw our Doberman standing on the front walkway... we were not home so you went for a drive, and came back an hour later, saw the dog in the exact same spot, and later asked Marc where he got the lovely Doberman statue!! I remember...

Sympathies to the family of a fine gentleman and tremendous advocate for the horse industry. I met Don during the years he was active with the Canadian Equestrian Federation. He recognized the need to broaden the scope of the Federation and his prescient "St. John's Initiative" eventually led to the creation of Equine Canada, an organization that is the envy of many horse sport nations. ...Just one element of an excellent legacy.
Sincerely,
Edward Kendall
Past President, Equine Canada

Dear Olga, Debi, Tim and Families,

Rick and my deepest sympathies to you all. Such wonderful memories flood back of my 10+ years working as Exec Asst to Don at CFCF. Your family embraced me with open arms and Don's quiet competence, warmth, generosity, charisma, charm and quick wit combined to make the office a delight, every single day. (Despite the cigar smoke, grin!) His trademark fresh orchids on the ladies' desks from his greenhouse were gratefully received ~ how beautiful they...

I was saddened to read of Don's passing. He was the "Boss" at CFCF when I started my broadcasting career. I truly enjoyed working with him and am forever thankful for his guiding hand and wise counsel that set the tome for the rest of my broadcasting career.
My deepens condolences to Olga and the family.
