Mrs. Helen Pinkney and family,

Deepest sympathy.
Mr. Pinkney was my grade 8 teacher at St. Pats in Cobalt in the early 70s.
He was a great teacher and a super person.
Had the pleasure of catching up with him when him and Mrs. Pinkney did their daily walk at Mall in New Liskeard.
He will be missed.

Uncle Don could light up a room and make people laugh. I may be the youngest of the cousins, but I remember from a young age his never ending humor, laugh and smile.

Rest well good sir.

Dear Helen,
I was so saddened to read Don’s obituary this morning. I have such great memories of you and Don. I met your family when I was a teenager. And throughout all these years, I’ve often thought about how much fun it was to be around your family. It’s been a tough ride for you all living with Don’s very difficult journey. May he rest in peace.

Helen, please accept our deepest condolences at Dons’s passing. It was my pleasure to work with both you and Don when I was a teacher and later as a principal at St. Pats. His humour and dedication to his students was notable. I can imagine that you and your children will miss him terribly. His last years must have been difficult.
You are in our thoughts and prayers as you journey forward.

Sincere condolences on the loss of Don.
I was in Don’s first grade 8 class at St. Pat’s. He took a class of students from 4 different towns and molded us into a cohesive group. We had so much fun that year. Don had a huge impact on so many throughout his years of teaching. He will be missed by many, especially his family.
