My deepest condolences to Yvonne, Darren, Angela and Deven. Don was a great guy and will be sadly missed by all who knew him. I got my first driving job at Weston Bakeries where Don worked. As a new, young driver I always valued his advice and guidance which he was more than willing to give. He was a very kind and decent man. Always enjoyed chatting with him and sharing stories – he was a great story teller with a sense of humour. One more run left Don – on the highway in the sky. God bless and Rest In Peace old friend.
