Don Was always a people person, he could talk to anyone about anything and made many friends over the years because of this great trait. In his later years Don was more settled to one city. Dawson Creek B.C Where he still played from time to time but was more of a homebody. Content to stay at home, play on his computer, watch T.V and visit with all of his friends in the area at the legion. He will be missed by his adopted family...
