Don coached me in hockey and baseball. He hired me for my first job (papers). He was my coach when Melrose Massachusetts came to play us (Peewee Tigers). He created a special team for us to travel to small villages to play on outdoor rinks for extra ice time. Don gave his precious time to us for the sole purpose of improving our game. 
His generosity with his time had a big impact on many Campbellton boys.

So sorry to here of Don's passing.  We will miss his insight and pleasant banter at tiger games.

One of my first jobs was working at the Tribune. I forget what Don's nickname for me was, but I used to call him "Scoop" as he was the reporter!! 
RIP Don.

Don will be miss by everyone in sports in this area rest in peace big guy Clem Tremblay Dalhousie NB

Worked with Don in Hockey and Baseball for a good number of years, Sports writer in Tribune for many years. He will certainly be missed.
RIP Don

God bless you Don!
I hope you're welcomed warmly by all our family members.

Campbellton sport fans and organizers have lost a very special and knowledgeable friend. He contributed to sport not only by his pen. He was a doer and involver. He will be missed as he goes to the "big game in the sky".
Deepest sympathy seems shallow. A deeper thought would be induction into the Campbellton Sports Hall of Fame as a builder....a big one at that!!

Donald was a tireless volunteer for me the 4yrs I ran Little League Baseball in C'ton; he coached a team, he would umpire Farm League games, scorekeep Little League games when his team was not playing.  

With Tribune publisher Rod Raymond blessing,  Donald took over the Tribune Sports Editor position from me when I headed to Moncton for a career in air traffic control.  Don continued in newspaper work for the majority of his life.

People like Donald, who constantly gave of themselves, made my 4 yrs at the helm a pleasure.  One can never say enough thank you's but Don didn't look for that, he wanted the youth to have something constructive to do.

For an individual who never participated in sports growing up (from my recollection) he didn't hold back helping others.  

Don, I salute you for all your help back in the day and offer you another "Thank You" as you head off to your destiny.

RIP my friend, you well deserve it.

So long, Don. 

Thanks for informing so many about the world of sport, especially local sports. RIP old friend.
