Dear Margo, we are both remembering all the years we worked with Don driving for PWT in the Rockies; but our most special and precious memory of Don is the day he performed our wedding ceremony at the Banff Springs Hotel coming up almost 25 years ago in January. Sending you hugs and condolences from Edmonton.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Margo and your family. I enjoyed working with Don on the hockey board and as a billet family. RIP Don.
