Dear Ann, Judy & Doug, Rob & Norma and families, I will remember Don for his giving heart and for the many good times we all shared together. "When someone we love becomes a memory the memory becomes a treasure". A kind and loving person, he will be missed by many. Thinking of you all at this sad time.

I will always remember Don as a happy person always with a smile on his face. He was very pleasant to work for and I enjoyed my 9 years at Sussex Realty. Condolences to his family who he often spoke about and to Ann his close companion. I only heard of his passing today from a friend and am so sorry I missed his funeral. My sincerest condolences to all. - Posted by: Margaret Moroz (Real Estate agent at Sussex Realty for over 9 years .) on: Dec 16, 2014

Don was the first baby to be born into the Gray Family making Mom & Dad Grandparents. When Bessie & Keith drove to Rocanville on some Sundays it was exciting for all of us. He sang over the radio (from Regina) when he was just 3 years old. In later years I was lucky enough to stay at his place. He loved to take Jean & I to the Casino (Regent) where he enjoyed Poker & slots. Don hosted many Family gatherings for all his Aunts & Uncles...a very kind, caring man. We all loved him and he will be missed and remembered forever. - Posted by: Florence Ralph (Aunt Flo) on: Dec 16, 2014

We were privileged to be next door neighbours (on Warsaw Avenue) to our much loved Grandma Marion for 10 years (from 1974 to 1984). It was during those years that we also had the privilege of getting to know Don (or Donnie, as Grandma Marion affectionately called him). He was always such a positive person--great fun to be around. Our condolences to all of his family. Because of a previous commitment, we will be unable to attend the service tomorrow but we will be there in spirit.
