Not sure what to say?

Sorry for your loss Don was quite a person and during the short time I knew him through the TWU, he made a lasting impression upon me and those around him

Colourful talker. strong trade Unionist, Great Leader---He's sorely missed by all who knew and respected him

We are saddened by the passing of Donald MCROBB and wish to send our sincere condolences to his family and friends. Don and I became friends on the TWU bargaining team in 1991. He was a good Trade Unionist and worked for the members. He was a real character and I will not forget him.

Another Como Lake alumnus! Don and Ron were schoolmates of ours in the 50s, and they both attended the 50-year reunion in 2009. RIP Don- glad we had a chance to get caught up at the reunion!

I moved onto Dansey Ave in 1959 a few doors down from Don & his twin brother Ron, we all became very close friends. I can't count the memories we shared over the years, story's that will make you smile & story's that made you cry because we laughed so much. We stayed friends to the end. I will miss them both. RIP Don

Don, Ron and I were friends and neighbors since Grade 2 at Austin Heights, 69 years. They are both missed.

Don would be my "Most Unforgettable Person" for a Reader's Digest article. He was one of a kind! But then he had a twin! Too many stories to remember, and some that should be forgotten! I remember in 1971, Don and Carol heading north on Greig Ave. to where the overpass is today in Terrace, with an old ex BC Tel 4x4 International Panel Truck, pulling a little tear drop shaped old trailer, with all their belongings in it. The truck was one I drove here only a few months before in the radio...

So sorry for your loss...May Don RIP and let the memories bring comfort to you ❤

Sad to hear that you have left us for a far better place. RIP Don. Comfort to all the family
