Nancy he was a great guy and that's from a owner of a boat based in Sidney but registered in the UK.Its so sad Don isn't with us but hopefully he will be sailing and helping others.Just a great guy I'm very sad and I miss his sense of humour.Thats from a guy who he inspected professionally and became a friend.

I am so sad to hear this news, and only today. I worked for a short time with Don as I took his position on Bowen Island. He was a great mentor for me as I took on my new role. I remember spending hours talking about sailing and boats with him as he transitioned into retired life. My thoughts are with his family.
