I would like to send my condolences to both Randy/Donna and family. My wife and I grew up in Lucan knowing Don and his lovely family. I especially got to know Donna as a friend/coworker along with her husband Randy. It is never easy to say goodbye to a close family member. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Don’s entire family under these extreme emotional times. I know he will be missed as a husband, father, grandfather and a great grandfather. His accomplishments as a person speaks for itself.
Rest In Peace.
