Scott, Jenn and Jeff,
Judy and I are so sorry to hear of Don’s passing. We were great friends so many years ago
before moving to Nova Scotia in 1984. After a few years we just lost touch. Don was a great
friend and we remember a lot pf parties many years back. He was one of the best I have
ever seen do the Jive. The world has lost one of the best !!!
With Sympathy

Scott, Jeff, Jennifer and families,
We are so very sorry to read about the passing of your dad. Don was such a sweet, kind and generous man and we sure did have a lot of fun times with him. He is free from any suffering now and probably somewhere looking for free car parts to build another car. He was very lucky to have such a loving family around him. RIP Don.
