I was lucky enough to work with Don when I first came to Canada, and even more lucky when he introduced me to his daughter Julia. He was convinced we would become fast friends and he was right. 
Don and Olympia have been constant fun parental figures to me… eventually welcoming my children into their circle too. (My daughter still sleeps with an oversized bear that D&O gave her years ago for Christmas. 😌)

My heart goes out to Olympia, Julia and Robbie at this sad time. Sincere condolences from Pugh-Collin clan xxx

We lost a good friend, golf and curling partner. Here's a picture from a tournament in Sorel where The Don is wearing his beloved Bruins shirt. Our most sincere condolences to Oly, Julia and Robbie.

Cher Oli, Julia et Rob,

C’est avec surprise et tristesse que nous avons appris le décès de Don. Nous savons qu’il n’y a jamais de bon moment pour perdre son conjoint ou son papa, mais les gens qui nous entourent font toute la différence.  Sachez que nous sommes de tout cœur avec vous et nous vous offrons nos plus sincères condoléances. 

Quant à vous monsieur Don, si vous croisez un terrain de golf sur votre chemin, vous saurez que vous êtes rendu au paradis…


My deepest sympathy to Don's family. We are going to miss a very gentle  and sweet man. 

Monsieur Don,

Ton départ nous attriste beaucoup, mais nous garderons toujours le souvenir d'un voisin heureux, passionné de golf et de bonne bouffe. Tu resteras dans nos mémoires une personne joviale, toujours prête à raconter le gag ou l'histoire qui fera rire tout le monde. 
Bon repos à toi et que ta famille puisse traverser cette épreuve avec tout le courage nécessaire.

Lorraine, Pierre, Chantal et Isabelle

My sincere condolences to the family.  I worked many years with Don and can't say enough about his character and team spirit.  He was always optimistic and upbeat, no matter the situation.  And, of course, a joke or two along the way!  We will surely miss him and wish his family all the best.

My Dad was my hero and extraordinary in every way. Always there for us, listened without judgement, had a joke for every occasion and taught us how to live, to love, and how to have fun. Though I will always miss him, I know he is by my side. Julia xx

I have been blessed from having Don in my life from a very young age and will cherish his fatherly advice and support. 
Anything for a laugh...he could commit to delivrer a running joke through decades:  LNIDIAAGM!
Don was a loving, fiercely protective and dedicated husband and Father. His spirit and humour shall live on through my dear friends Julia and Ro and his wonderful grandchildren. They were his whole world in this life and beyond.
Our condolences to Oli & family.  RIP Don. Love, Annie, Bruno & Lhasa

Mes sympathies les plus sincères à toute la famille et plus particulièrement à Olympia son épouse et ancienne collègue de travail.
