We spent some time with Don last year in BC and I was fortunate enough to get in a few good games of crib with him. He was always eager to get in a friendly and competitive game. It was a pleasure to have known both Don and Ruth throughout the years. Our sincere condolences to Patti, Donna, Bill and families - Posted by: Joanne Makeiff (Related) on: Jul 01, 2018

I first met Don and Ruth at the Devonshire House assisted living Complex in Winnipeg. We became friends and enjoyed many social activities together including cribbage. Don was a true friend and will be greatly missed. - Posted by: Alan Taylor (Friend) on: Jun 23, 2018
