I worked with Don years ago at the MapleLeaf bar in Burlington and he gave me the nickname Buddorf. So I gave everyone the nickname back and Don became Dondorf!!! They´ll never be another one and he was a great friend What´s really weird is I couldn´t shake thinking about him Wednesday like all day long and I thought it was weird because I hadn´t seen him in awhile. Well my kid told me the very next morning that I had a good reason for thinking about him and that he had passed Tuesday. So sad to hear this, he will be missed by many. My deepest sympathies to Don´s kids and family
