Condolence from Rod & Lisa Johanson on January 3rd, 2020 5:09 PM

Judy

Our paths crossed at Parkwood in 2017 and Don left a lasting impression with both of us. His laughter was contagious and Rod & Don misbehaving (as much as they could!!) was pretty comical!! Especially when they would look at each other and start laughing! Music to our ears at a very challenging time.

We are so sorry to hear of Don’s passing and our thoughts are with you & your family. May you find strength for the days ahead.

Take care.
