Not sure what to say?

I work for the Winterport Water District. Since the Weston’s house is next to the water pumping station I feel fortunate to have taken part in several wonderful conversations with both Teddy and Don. Following a visit with Don my spirits would lift and a sense of purpose was renewed as his zest for life was always contagious.

His knowledge of water and wastewater was extensive. A few years ago he assisted me in closing a gate valve in front of his house. It did not move easily...

I won't forget the very first time I had the opportunity to meet Don about 7 years ago. I was in a very bad predicament working on the town's water system and had been laboring at a very undesirable task. I briefly looked up to see someone watching my every move and it was Don Weston. He asked if I was having fun yet and if he could help in any way. It would be many more times throughout my time working in Winterport where Don would offer his help and also his wisdom.

A big hug to Teddy and the rest of the family. Don was a special person who not only did so much locally, but was always enthusiastic about sharing his love of family history with his western cousins. In so many ways he will be missed.

Dear Anne, Teddy & Clint,

I am so sorry for the loss of your husband and father. He certainly touched many lives and was a very special person. Please accept my heartfelt condolences and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Sincerely,
Dawn Beswick

Dear Teddy and Family,
Don will be missed terribly by the residents of Winterport and by the Boy Scout Troop 234. He always attended and supported the boys at their Eagle Scout ceremonies and his love for Scouting has been an inspiration for all Scouting families. We are so sorry for your loss, he was a terrific man who shared so much of himself to others.
Sincerely, Mary, Greg, Eagle Scouts Matt, Ryan and upcoming Eagle Scout Max Goodman.

Dear Teddy,
Sincere sympathy
I served with Don on some Winterport
committees. He was a model, a gentleman, and made a great contribution to the town.
He will be remembered.

Please accept our deepest sympathies. I have so many fond memories of Don and Teddy in my many visits to Winteport and the camp on Pattern Pond. Anne and I were best of friends growing up.

So many wonderful family gatherings to remember ...thank you Uncle Donald for being part of my happy childhood. Your quiet strength was a rock for all your family...you will be so missed...
(along with your maple syrup and home brewed beer...that was soooo good!...did I ever say thank you enough?)
