Mine as well. I never had a chance to meet him, but also heard great things.


I've passed this on to Alberta Aquatica as well, for any members there who may have known him. We have a fairly large Edmonton contingent over there.

I once met up with Donna-Lee to do a frag swap because Don was too busy. We spent about 30mins at the Mcdonald's parking lot talking about Don's passion for the reef and how he would like to meet me one day to talk more about it...but we never got a chance. Then 2 months ago when I was about to drive up to Edm. to pick up some corals, I found out that Don was in the hospital. I was very excited about meeting them, but instead I was praying and hoping for the best. During these harsh times, I was looking forward to his full recovery so he can return to what he loved doing. And learning of this news now, what a tragedy. Unfortunately, and regretably I will have to learn about Don through Donna-Lee. Donna Lee is a great person, I know Don is likewise. Wish her and the kids all the best. Rest in peace Don....

I got the chance to meet Don once and Dona-lee a couple times, Don was a great guy just loved the hobbie and wanted to do so much with it, I hope now that his family has the strength to get through their great loss.

I had also the pleasure of meeting and knowing don and donna lee. I didnt know don had passed away. but did know somthing was wrong from the last time I talked to donna lee. She had said that she got upset when talking about don so I had asked her not to tell me as I didnt want to upset her. This comes to great shock and disbelief as I last spoke to don at big als in july and he looked completely healthy. But my best wishes go out to donna lee at this sad time and just hope she knows that if there's anything me and april can do for her we will.

I'd also like to add my condolences. It is truly rare when you have individuals in the business who are truly passionate, not just about their job, but about the hobby they love.

Hi everyone!
Thanks for all the words of support. I've decided to put together a card, and was hoping to write-in all of the recent messages from this thread, into it, for the family. I'm assuming noone objects?

And yes, anyone else, please feel free to post here and I'll put your message into the card too. I should be able to drop it off tomorrow (Monday) evening to Donna-Lee.

Thanks again.

I am dearly sorry for their loss. My condolences to Donna-Lee and her children.

I never got to know them, but I did hear that Don was a fantastic guy.

I hope things improve for his family!

Sincerely,

Chris W.
