Just heard yesterday about the passing of your Dad. I remember him playing music at your home in Hensall. He always welcomed us with a smile. We let Mom and Dad know as they are in Florida. We pray God’s blessing on you at this time.
Condolence From: Clayton and Jane Groves
We extend our thoughts of sympathy to Don’s family. We, in the past, and many years ago ,knew your dad very well as he did most of our refrigeration work for Groves TV and Appliances in Clinton.. Dad always had a smile and we had many visits to his place in Hensall. The memorial picture is as we remember Don. Often wondered where the family was now. Our sincere sympathy. Clayton and Jane Groves.
