Extending sympathy to Don’s family at this time. Don was certainly a man who reached out to all he met and never forgot friends from the past. I remember the day he and Betty were married. After we left the store in Kinlough ,I always loved to return to church as Don extended such a warm welcome. Treasure all those great memories.
To Janet, Shirley, Bruce & Betty Anne & all your extended families in All of you have my deepest sympathy in losing your Dad. He was a great & very kind man to all he met. My Mom sang at your parents wedding (Madeleine Haldenby). She is now at the grand old age of 100 yrs.which was this past Sept. & Bruce was kind enough to bring him down to see her. I used to babysit Janet & Shirley when they were tiny as well as your cousins Ron & Cathie G. Again,I was sorry to hear about Don.
Thinking of the Bushell family now at this time of loss. Don was a sweet man to chat with, he will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. Take care everyone.
To Bruce and your family, my deepest sympathy. Don was one of the most genuine gentlemen that I have ever met. When I worked at Huron Tractor at Walkerton , he always stopped at my counter to say hello. I'll always remember his gentle personality. A man you can be proud to have called Dad.
