    Please accept our condolences. Although we only knew Don for a few years he was always friendly and conversant with us. As newcomers we appreciated his sincerity and welcoming smile. We are certain that we aren’t the only ones who have fond memories of Don. Thinking of you and your family at this time. George & Doreen Trevor

    Don was a friend of my family for 50 years,and especially my husband Garry who he always called Cap. He was a quiet kind man who was always willing to lend a hand….He dedicated many years and late hours in a volunteer role looking after important issues for our park
    He loved his Grandchildren’s visits and being with them on the beach

    He will be missed but always fondly remembered
