Bob and I always enjoyed Don's company. He was very witty, kind and warm and very knowledgeable. We could never beat him at Trivial Pursuit, especially Canadian Trivial Pursuit. Playing Mexican Train was another story. He didn't seem to really get that game and with a sly grin always insinuated that.... "well, these dots look like the right number and ... but they seem like the same color. Why can't I put this tile where I want it?" Ha ha. What a character!
Don and Jeanne were our role models when it came to hiking in the mountains. At almost 10 years older than us, they put us to shame. We aimed to be like them when we got to be their age.
We always had interesting, intellectual conversations and discussions with Don. He was an intelligent, well read man.
Even after his memory faded, he still greeted us with a warm smile and continued to be a charmer with the ladies, while still respectful.
The world has lost a really nice man and we have lost a good friend. Your family was lucky to have him.
