We will miss Don, I remember him always having a camera in his hand. I also remember swimming, one time at the farm and he lost his false teeth and told us no one move. He dived down and retrieved them. Everyone one will miss him.

Uncle Don was always a lot of fun to be around. Growing up we used to cringe every time he brought out his cameras because he wouldn't let us leave until we posed for a million photos and it seemed like such a long process each time (big family problems). Looking back now I appreciate all of the family photos that he took and we have some great videos of when we were younger on the farm and at family gatherings. Best memory was him trying to make us laugh while playing with his teeth and they fell out. Needless to say we were all laughing in those photos!
