Thinking of Don’s family as we move past this anniversary.


My deepest condolences to all of dons Family, I have known don from when he was a little boy, we went to the same church with his parents and my family.We always went out for after church dinner at the coolest restaurants and i always gave him a ride home in my hot rods in 
which he always envied.  He will be missed.

      God  bless his family

I've known Don for nearly 20 years.  We met when I was working on a community project in Deep Cove and as an NS Outlook reporter, he got interested in the story and we kept in touch from then on.  He and I had many lunches and conversations about politics, journalism and the law.  He sought my counsel about becoming a lawyer and after giving him an honest assessment of what he would have to sacrifice in terms of time, money, etc , I encouraged and supported his decision and followed his path with interest.  I was delighted to see him become a learned friend and we continues our lunches.  There are those friends that have a special place in your life and memories and Don was one of them.   I miss him dearly.  

Don articled at Lakes Whyte LLP.  He and I worked together during his articling year, and up until he left to work with Jay Straith before moving on to work with ICBC as an in house lawyer.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Don's passing.  I have fond memories of our time spent working together, and socializing with mutual friends and co-workers from the North Vancouver courthouse and elsewhere.  

Don and I would get together for drinks in Vancouver (downtown or Commercial Street), or more recently, breakfasts in Lower Lonsdale when we both lived in North Vancouver.

Don, I shall miss your dry wit and humour, and our times together sharing drinks, meals and stories.  You were never too far away from the next party.  Your presence there, and elsewhere, will be greatly missed.  Take care buddy.  

To Don's family, please accept my sympathies as you navigate this very difficult time.  He was a good man, with many friends.


I will always remember a pictionary tournament at my parents house in Coquitlam with some of the church college & career group. Don showed up and he had our team laughing all night. Don kept us loose and having fun....and we won! At the end of the tournament we took a picture of our winning team sitting on the couch with our pointer fingers saying we're #1! Don and all of us had big smiles...lol...good memories for sure! 

Thoughts and prayers for his extended family and friends.

I will always remember the fond memory of growing up as kids in church wearing three-piece suits; playing soccer at Spanish Banks and Don tripping me so hard so I would miss a goal; playing lazer tag in New Westminster at Graham Frith's bachelor party; Don's love of music and a big supporter of my grunge band in the 90s; his love for interviewing in journalism; the resemblance of him and his sister Sue; his wonderful deep voice; and his love of friends & family. I am shocked with the news. So young, such a big heart, such a big spirit. Gone way too soon. See you in Heaven, Don. Many comfort, thoughts & prayers to his family.

Many people are deeply saddened by Don's passing. Don was a big character who enjoyed many aspects of life. He enjoyed the practice of law, journalism and his involvement with the film industry. He was very involved  with the office Social Committee and enjoyed rallying up interest. He will be missed.   

My condolences to you and your family. I lovedmeeting and knowing Donald, he will remain a fond memory. My deepest sorrows.

I met Don when I began working as a lawyer at ICBC in 2015.  Don's office was next door to mine.  He made me feel welcome and would often offer advice and tips.  When he found out that I was a fan of Adele, he'd burst into my office unexpectedly singing her songs,  waving his arms and making me laugh. I enjoyed his stories about his days as a journalist and his travels.  
I am saddened to hear of his passing. May his soul rest in eternal peace.  I offer you my condolences. 

I worked with Don in both the New Westminster ICBC office and at 808 Nelson. In New West, Don and I were usually the last people to leave. Once, assuming I was gone , Don put on the office alarm on when he left. When I got up from my desk to walk down the corridor the alarm went off LOUDLY, and I almost jumped out of my skin. The next day I expressed my annoyance which Don found amusing. I threatened I would get back at him in some way, but the opportunity never arose. However, after that incident we made sure whether the other one was still in the office when leaving.
Don discussed many legal issues about his files with me in New Westminster. By the time he came to the Vancouver office he was more experienced but would still drop in for chats. I would tease him about his sartorial splendor which he took a lot of pride in. Don made a lot of effort to promote camaraderie at 808 Nelson and always tried to include everyone. He was a good natured complicated guy with knowledge on many subjects. He was very proud of his Italian heritage.
I was deeply saddened to hear of his passing.


Don  articled with our law firm, but I also knew him as a fearless reporter for the Outlook.  He always had  a strong passion for justice.  He was a unique personality with a dry sense of humor.  God Speed Don.

I cherish the times when we crossed paths in North Van and especially when we saw each other at the VIFF Closing Gala in '17 with my lady Darlene Cromwell! RIP My friend. 

I got to know Don when he worked at the New West office back in 2014. He was always ready to chat about housing or local politics. He added a lot of color to an otherwise grey office environment. 

He was tenacious lawyer but mostly I will miss his antics and "life" stories.  

I am deeply sorry for your loss. 

I knew Don through work at ICBC.  He dedicated a lot of his time and effort to making sure our office was a fun and social environment for all.   I am so very sorry for your loss.

I worked with Don at ICBC in New Westminster.  He was a hard working lawyer that enjoyed his work.  I’m so sorry for your loss.
