He was generous, kind and charitable, resulting in multiple friendships that spanned more than 85 years. He will be greatly missed.

Don will certainly be missed. He was a regular at Tai Chi classes at the Heritage for several years. He was always smiling, friendly and fun to talk to. Best wishes to all his family.
