Dear Margy: My prayers for your peace and for you to feel assured that Don has entered God's kingdom free of all illness and pain. His spirit will remain with you, Brian, Barbara and Tony. He will cheer for his grandchildren at all their future swimming meets and hockey games and birthday parties.

Don and Margy were valued collegues for a good part of my career at Alkco, which began when I was 20 years old. I remember Don as someone who cared deeply about the company that he worked for, taking every business discussion and decision to heart. Alkco employees and sales reps all admired him for his sincerity, concern for people and his practical business sense.

I got to know Coach Don when he helped out Tony while he was head coach. He cared deeply about the boys and spent lots of time helping us break down film and prepare game plans. I can only imagine how much he will be missed. May God bless him and his family who will miss him dearly.
