Don was the loveliest man and I will definitely miss hearing the “problem of the day” stories, lovely memories, that will make us smile when we recall them! I will think of him fondly, over my next jar of marmalade. He lived a wonderful life!
Condolences to you Laura and all the family.

RIP Uncle Don, thank you for the memories - I remember fondly listening to the stories you shared with my grandparents about moving to Canada, trips and the dance club in Streatham. You and Aunty Nudge always came over with the best gifts for us as kids, (I remember a lot of temporary tattoos!). I was so fortunate to see you last summer at “fort fumble”. You will be hugely missed, what a legacy you leave ❤️ thinking of you all xxx

What a guy!!! I never saw him when he wasn't smiling -- or making everyone else smile. He was witty, he was funny, he was charming, he was a lot of fun to be with. He was also one of the most tolerant and kind people I've known. Always doing things for others -- or entertaining them with his wonderful stories. He adored his family and was so good to his beloved June and his kids and his grandkids. He will be so missed.
