To Sue and Family; my condolences on your loss.
My deepest condolences to Don’s family. I first met Don when I started working in Pathology at UWO when I was only 19. I could always count on Don to make me smile, he was quite the jokester. He will be missed.
I would like to extend my sympathies to Don’s family. I knew Don while he worked at UWO. His good natured demeanor made the workplace more enjoyable. Our paths crossed several times after he retired, the brief conversations we had belied the fact that many years had passed.
Kent, Alex, Maddie, Maureen, and Lauren
