Don was a builder by trade and built numerous homes throughout Victoria to provide for his large family. Don always made time to take his family on many camping adventures and lake fishing excursions. He liked nothing more than to enjoy family togetherness, a raging campfire and a crisp, cold beer.

The family extends their many thanks and gratitude to the staff of 4 north west at RJH for their care of Don in his final months of life. A celebration of life will be held at a later date in May, date TBD.

    I always enjoyed meeting with Don. His recollection of pre-war and wartime Victoria was fascinating and his interesting opinions on the various CFAX tax radio hosts and discussions were always enjoyable! Rest in Peace, dear Don. Condolences to his many family members who will also miss him.
