Don was a great friend to many and always ready to lend a helping hand. He enjoyed tinkering in his workshop and enjoyed Ainslie Woods Housing maintenance which kept him busy in his spare time.
A special thank you to the staff at Lee Manor where he enjoyed his last few years. He will be lovingly remembered by all that knew him.
As per Don’s request, he has been cremated and a private family burial in the spring to follow.
