Don was a great friend to all. So sorry for your loss. Garry and Dianne Henderson
Don was a funny, helpful, sweet hearted man and he will be sorely missed by those he loved so dearly and who loved him. He always sent his lovely wife, Linda, the most gorgeous flowers for any and all occasions, saying she deserved them because she was so beautiful and that he was a lucky guy to have her! Heaven will love him! May the Lord comfort the ones he leaves behind.
Our condolences to the family. God bless.
