Sympathy to all the family. I remember Don when growing up in Avonlea and enjoyed his company when he resided at Mulberry in Moose Jaw. He always had a tidbit of info or joke when I came to visit Mom. Thoughts are with you all!!
So sorry to learn of Don’s passing. When he was my sisters boyfriend in high school I was considered quite a nuisance as sometimes my mother made them take me with them. Later on when we both lived at the Mulberry residence in Moose Jaw we became good friends and I missed him so much when he moved back to Avonlea. He had a wonderful family and a long fulfilling life. He will certainly be missed by family, friends and by the community of Avonlea.
Our Deepest Sympathy!
Tracey Nancy Lori and Families. Don was a good friend and always enjoyed visiting with him my condolences to all
Our deepest sympathies to all the family. I have many memories of your dad from the times our families spent together. Wishing you comfort during this difficult time.
I am very sorry to read that your Dad has passed away. My memory or him , when I was young, is of a caring, positive, busy, hardworking, friendly man. He always had a smile and hello when he met me. Your parents were a great part of the Avonlea community. They will always be remembered. Hugs to you and Jesse.
