Our family met Don around 1978. My husband and I had the privilege of having supper at his home. I will always remember him as a person who would listen and was quick to smile. Blessings of comfort to all Don's family and friends.

I was so shocked to hear this morning of Don's passing. Mercifully, it was quick but that doesn't take away the loss of a gentle, kind human being. I wish I could have been there with you Betty.
You are welcome at our home any time.

We are saddened to hear of Don's passing. He and I earned our professional accounting designations together in 1976. Pat and I still remember flying over Edmonton with Don in his little airplane when he was still active as a pilot. We remember his new house on an acreage west of the city. Our sympathies are now with his family and friends.

Brian and I were so sorry to hear of Donnie's passing. It really is true what they say, "the good die young". We will remember Donnie forever as the gentleman that he was, always with a smile and a kind word.

We were deeply saddened to learn of Don's illness and ultimate demise. We have fond memories of Don visiting with us in Montgomery, AL in 1993. We had met him and his family in Pasadena, CA 12 years earlier. We are assured that our Almighty Creator will provide you with the comfort you need during this difficult time in your lives. You are in our prayers.

Betty, James, Pauline, Angela, Sheldon, Lorraine, Carolyn, Gordon and Brendon, Joe Harwood, Garry, Merv and families;
We read about Don's passing with great sorrow and sadness. I worked with Don for +16 years and got to know him very well. I look back on those years with fondness, for his dedication and devotion to his work, recalling the true gentleman that he always was. To Don's family, we share this time of sadness with you and hope you will be able to find solace in the grief we share by remembering Don as he was. God bless you all.
