Throughout his life, Uncle Don had a significant impact on many lives. Personally, and through his music, he was able to connect with people of all ages and walks of life. I can only imagine the thousands of people who reminisced, fell in love, got big ideas, proposed and made important decisions against the backdrop and the emotional impact of his music.



He was a kind and unselfish soul who made a real difference in the world.



Sincere thanks to all his friends.

Don is my dad's loving brother, my grandparent's treasured son, a wonderful uncle, a great spirit and a good guy. We celebrate his life and our memories.

I will always love and remember Uncle Don and the special (and especially musical) place he held in our family. His generosity of spirit, his everpresent sense of fun and of course his music will always be missed.

We love our Uncle Don and are so sorry to have been so far away when he passed. Thank you to all his friends for your friendship and kindnesses to him. We had lots of good times when he visited for holidays. We especially loved listening to him play his music and sing for us and our kids. We will really miss him.
