Condolence from Barb and Mike Soldan on November 11th, 2024 3:33 PM

What a wonderful man Don was. Barb and I enjoyed Don and Elvy’s hospitality during our courting years as Barb lived with the Urbshotts. I saw the Lucan Ilderton Jets playing the Durham Huskies in a day when senior hockey was a rough and tough match up. Don could dish it out as much as he could take it. He was endeared by hockey fans in the Lucan area. But most of all he was a kind and compassionate person who treated all his clients that way. His insurance business flourished and even though he retired , he still went into the office to work. We will miss him dearly. Wayne and family and Elvy we send our heart felt condolences . We have great memories of Don. Don’s final days were a struggle and he is at peace now. God bless you all for your love and support for the Urbshotts
