Joyce: The news of Don's passing came as a geat shock to us all here at Cowan's. That is especially true of those of us who had the priviledge of meeting and knowing Don through work contacts and on a personal level. He was a true gentleman and a mentor to many at the GCNA, and everyone, everywhere else that he touched with his wisdom and caring. Please accpet our sincere condolances for your and your family's loss. Take good care!

Dear Tanis, Glen and 3 most wonderful boys! Having lost almost my entire family to cancer, I fully comprehend exactly what you have all been going through these last few months. My heart goes out to you all. Glen, even though you yourself suffer very much for your loss, remember you mother in this time of extreme mourning. 47 years are not lightly forgotten... nor should they be. Love to you all from Carl, Christina & Marianne

Dear Joyce - we were so saddened to hear of Don's passing - this was a complete shock to us - he seemed such a healthy person the last time I saw him. We have had such great memories of living next door to you on St. Clair and the gourmet meals we shared. We will think of you tomorrow as you celebrate Don's life and know that we are thinking of you, Joyce, and remember him as the fun loving person he was. He was taken far too soon and we will all miss him. Love Jan and John

Don's passing completely floored us. I always enjoyed working with Don at the theatre and I will truly miss him. I feel that after hearing his family and friends talk about him at the celebration of his life that I really wish I could have known him for a longer time. Both Pat and I were commenting on pleasing it was to have you and Don at our house for the Christmas get -together with the TOFC group. He will be greatly missed by our group. Please accept our heartfelt sympathies and may the love and strength of your family and friends help strengthen you.
