I met Don, Joe and Pat when our families were stationed at Goose Bay Labrador in the mid 1960s.
I am so sorry to hear of Don's passing. I remember him as a sweet, polite and unassuming young man when I met him so many years ago.
I was so fortunate to have met his beautiful mother Isabella and Col. Beitman. This amazing family was such an integral part of my life.
Peace and love to the Gentile Family
