    So sorry to hear of Don’s passing. Elsie and I played golf with Don & Ellen at Bordon Golf Club for many years. Don was a real trooper when it came to walking the course. He walked that course in the hottest of weather and didn’t like to ride a cart. He is now with his beloved Ellen. Rest in peace good friend.

    To All the Family of My Good Friend Don.
    Never had the opportunity to work directly with Red but did get to know him on many occasion.
    His sense of humor and great attitude made many who he trained and fought Fires with him very Thankful and Secure.
    His laughter and Friendship will always be remembered and cherish.
    No doubt he was a great Part of our Dedicated Senior Brother, with North York. Happy to have known Him .

    Dear Don, Tania and all the family, it is so hard at these times to say what we really mean. Although I didn’t know Don Sr personally, I’m sure he was a shining light for the family and my heart goes out to you all at this time of your grief. Love and pain go hand in hand, but be comforted in knowing that Don is now much closer to you than he ever was before – right in the centre of your hearts.

    Sending much love across the miles to you all.
    Jean

    When I started with the North York Fire Department, Red was on the crew I was lucky enough to be assigned to. He was everything you could ask for as a fellow fire fighter and he taught me a lot . I looked up to him as a fire fighter and his friendship over the years is to be cherished
