Condolences to Ange, Paul, Lisa, and the extended family on the loss of a dearly loved husband and father. A good man and a life well lived.

Loving memories of Don, the first and best friend of my dear Malcolm since the early 1950’s. I was welcomed into the fold in 1961 and Don was “Best Man” at our wedding, and Ange a beautiful bridesmaid. What fun we had in those early years with Colin & Dorothy, Brian & Madge, Von & Andy.
Precious memories.

After our move to Canada there were visits back and forth over the years, fun camping trips, wedding anniversaries, and a never ending sense of friendship and family that transcended the miles between us.

I’ll remember his cheeky grin and dry wit.
I’ll remember fun & laughter.
I’ll remember our time together with joy.
Farewell my dear friend.
