Donald, the man who never failed to make you smile. Who made everyone feel at ease, comfortable, as though his home was your own. It's not until he passed I realised he was home all along. He was like a second father to me, I hope he knew how important he was and what a massive difference he made in my life and so many others. To his dear family, I'm so sorry for this loss. Words cannot describe the pain. His two gorgeous sons carry his light with them always. I hope you heal. I will forever have him in my heart. I hope you're drinking all the whisky there is up there Donald. Love you.

So sorry to hear about Don. He looked after my garden for 15 years and we became good friends. Such a shame when he was so looking forward to a new life in New Zealand. My deepest sympathy.
