Tributes
"Uncle Don will be missed by all the lives he touched. Don had a contagious laugh and sense of humor. He was so much fun to be around. He had everlasting love of his wife, Judi, the children, Robin, Todd, Jim & David, their spouses/fiancé, all of his grandchildren & great grandchildren. Don & Judi had a very close friendship with his brother, Ralph, his wife, Jean, and their family and had many treasured memories of times spent together especially Packer parties at their farm. Don loved to listen to Judi sing and now as they are reunited I am confident she is singing & they are smiling as they are together again. Love you forever, Jane"
