To Sandi, Tom, Steve, Tracy and Andy....our deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy. We first met Don in Quebec Canada at the La Glaciere hotel on a snowmobile trip. We rode together Up North for the next 30 years or so. What adventures and laughs we had together. Our last snowmobile trip was February 2023 near Jackson Hole Wyoming. Oh what a week we had riding in The Rocky Mountains. It was like we were all 16 again. I will truly miss Don....he was a friend, mentor, confidant, teacher, and my snowmobiling wingman. Again to Sandi and the kids, my tears are real, he will be missed by all the people who´s lives he enriched with his warm, genuine, easy going guy he was to all.
