Dear Sandi, and Shawn,
I just learned of my cousin's death and was totally surprised. I remember Donald as he was a year older then me. My father and Donald's father George were not the closest families and we drifted apart.
I have thought of Donald many times, as I have recently, and looking him up, I found his obituary.
We were at one time, a long time ago, close as cousins. I can remember a creme soda session at my Grandfather's place in Coleman. Donald, David, my brother Brian and I had a fun time with Six's Lethbridge soda pop... spraying each other. My brother passed away with bone cancer a short while ago. My grandfather was close to my uncle George, Aunt Dorothy , Donald and David.
I am sorry for your loss, I wish I had known him better.
