In honour of my very good friend I will not be sad when I think of him because we spent a great deal of fun time living life to its fullest. I knew him for the better part of our lives after meeting professionally at work, which is how Don met many a good friends. He was quick witted and irritatingly funny but he was the most genuine and all giving people that I ever met. He left many lasting thoughts and impressions on me and my family and I could only hope to be half the person he was when taking up the cause and representing the down and out people. He left this one line with me early on in our friendship that lasted - oppression observed is oppression tolerated. Like many good people, he left us far too early. I will miss you sorely , but I am so profoundly happy to have known you and have these lasting memories my very good friend. Rest In Peace.
We are so very sorry that your Dad has passed away. We always knew how important you were to your Dad. We always knew he wanted you to be the best person you could be. We always knew he would support and love you throughout his life. We also knew he was happy that you found your lifelong partner in Jeannette. Sending hugs to you both, Uncle Rob and Aunt Janice
When I first met Don I was introduced to his quirky sense of humour which is something he never lost and always made me laugh. Most of all Don was a true friend. He was always there to help a friend or the family of a friend or really anyone or anybody who was in need. On many occasions he was there for me and my family and for that I am truly grateful and so very blessed to have called Don our friend!
I wish that he was able to cash in that rain check for dinner with our family one last time.
He will be missed by us all.
Gavin and Jeanette our thoughts and prayers go out to you during this time and know that we are here for you.
