News of Don’s passing was a very sad day for me! Because of a 16 years age difference and miles between us growing up, visiting was difficult, especially in days gone by. It was a joy to become re-connected in later life with both Don and Brenda! When my son and husband passed away, Don’s phone calls were so comforting. My daughter Anne and I had a wonderful visit last summer going over the Family Tree. When he told me he and a friend Diane were taking dancing lessons, I enjoyed asking about his progress. We so enjoyed reminiscing and sharing family history. So with a heavy heart, my 5 male cousins are gone and it is just Fay and I left. I Send my sympathy to all the family and I am only a phone call away if you would like to reminisce with a 96 year old cousin! Family and memories are the meaning of life!

I walked by the house the other day, and I felt so very sad that Don and Brenda would no longer be in n my life. I spent so many happy hours with them, while Peter was still alive and after Peter passed away, they were always so wonderful to invite me over. My condolence to Donna and Marianne. He talked so very fondly of both of you and was so very proud.

Thinking about you all as you remember and celebrate the life of a very special man.Don was an incredible neighbour! He was so personable, friendly and caring, and he shared many stories of the early days on East House, square dancing events, trailer travels and family life. We truly enjoyed his company and will miss our friend and neighbour. Tony and Roxanne Hodge

Bill Spencer - May 22, 2024

Don was a good friend and I enjoyed every visit he made to the dealership. We had many common interests - and his part of our conversations were always carefully reasoned and covered new and interesting subjects, along with reminiscences of his first meeting, courtship, and marriage to his late wife Brenda, and his career at General Motors. His and Brenda's legacy include a wonderful family who made him very proud.

I’m saddened to learn of his passing. He was a smart and kind man, and so tolerant of our shenanigans as teenagers and young adults. May his memory give comfort and guidance to all who loved him, and those of us who were mentored by him.
