I will always cherish my 17 years of life with Don. They were the best times of my life in Canada. I will always love Don. My prayerful sympathies to Lauren, Jason and Stacey. As well to his sisters and grandchildren. You were all very blessed to have Don in your lives. I was...I am. My consolation now, Don for sure is happy wherever he is now. I believe he is in heaven for he really was a very good person. He had a good soul. "The Lord gives. The Lord takes away. Blessed be the Lord."

Dear Lauren, Jason, Stacey and all the family. Though expected, this is still a sad day. You guys have been a part of our family for so long and we've had many occasions to celebrate both Simchas and sad times. I'm probably one of the few people who can say that they remember Don from his days in the l business, but I do, even though that is but a very small part of our memories. We wish you long life, strength through this difficult time, and may you be spared further sorrow.
