Not sure what to say?

Deepest sympathies on Don's passing. When I hear thunderclaps I wonder if it's Don's voice from heaven. He and the Morgans brought joy to many at Mad Murphys in the 70's, with many raising a pint and singing along to John Kanaka-naka. May his memory forever be a blessing.

So many memories of Don, The Morgan´s, Ct Cetacean Society, St Patrick´s Parades. All good times. He´s probably talking Whales with my brother Al right now. Mary, hold onto your own special memories. (If you have a brother Morgan, we went on the Oddysey together in 1970)

As a minister on the northshore of Massachusetts, I invited Don to come up and sing and teach our children about cetaceans. He immediately endeared himself to our community with his earthshaking voice, deep knowledge, captivating storytelling, and gentle spirit. We were fortunate to welcome Don who generously returned many times over the...

So so sad to hear. Legendary Chanteyman, Folk Singer (I remember him from Mad Murphy's, 19720, Cetacean Advocate and Illustrator. Better yet, one of the all-time nice guys: always made time for the lowliest of Swabbies' requests, like in this Video. https://youtu.be/964lz-pJlwQ
