I met Don as RCAT grad when on alumni committee and I lived in the Morpeth area until last year and had lunch with him a few times at the restaurant in New Scotland.
Sorry to hear of his passing . I was not aware he was ill. My sympathy.

Our sympathy to you Jean and your family in the passing of Don. We always enjoyed our visits with both of you at the maple functions over the years. These are memories that we will always treasure.
Don & Marion Dodds // October 27, 2017
I got to know Don as a member of the Stewardship Kent Council and it was there I came to respect and admire Don's enthusiasm and interest in our community. He possessed those traits that make citizens like him stand out and be lauded for their public efforts and involvement. Don's family has much to proud of; not only of his accomplishments, but for being someone, we could all talk and listen to. Thanks Don.

Donna Hare // October 24, 2017
I didn't know Don well or see him all that much, but that never seemed to matter. He'd always strike up a conversation. He was the one that inspired me to try my hand at making maple syrup. Every time I'd see him he'd take a moment to talk maple syrup, or old cars, he was always so friendly. My heartfelt condolences.
