    Pam & I were very saddened to hear the news last Friday. We both send our sincerest condolences to Carolyn and family. I will miss our letterbox meetings where Don & I would spend a few minutes solving the world's problems. Don would invariably there share with me a story from his times at Caltex and then send me on my way with a joke - normally po...

    🕯 Larry McKittrick lit a candle As my sponsor in becoming a Catholic Don was a fine example of the type of person I aspire to be. My prayers are with Carolyn and his family. Love and God Bless Larry McKittrick

    I didn't know him for long. Only a few years. But I knew this... He was a good man. Quick with a joke, or an anecdote... All of them worth heeding. Equally quick of wit. Even quicker with compassion. He gave everyone their say. Even those he didn't agree with. He was hospitable. Indeed, you'd go a long way to meet a man his equal in this reg...

    My family and I knew Don as a friend and neighbour for a number of years - he was one of nature's gentlemen always willing to lend a helping hand when needed - made one feel that life was worth while. He and Carolyn set a high standard in their marriage and enjoyed a great family life with their sons and daughters and he will be greatly misse...

    I miss you alot these days.. I find myself talking about you like you were still alive. It makes my heart ache. I see you in my dreams sometimes. It's still not real to me and i feel confused and sad, farfar. In my eyes, you were the only grandfather i had in my life and now that spot is empty :'( love you always.
