My thoughts and heart felt condolences go out to you and your family and other friends. I knew Don for a long time, and his smile, fun sense of humor, and friendship will be missed, but never fogotten. He always knew how to make someone’s dull day, into a better day, just from cheering up that person. He can still cheer us up from our memories of him.
Bev, we are so sorry to hear of your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you and the kids at this most difficult time.
I remember Don as one of the” nice guys” as a Rink Rat down at the old Memorial Arena. He’ll truly be missed but will remain in all our hearts forever!
We would also like to pass on our deepest condolences to the entire Smith family!
Sincerely,
Lloyd & Jackie Ralph
