Unreal, my best school mate... Way to young my friend. But knowing Donald for years I am sure he lived every minute to the fullest. Always thought about where you might have ended up but could not track you on any sites. My condolences go out to his folks who were the best parents. Shona and Chris, so sorry...and of course his beloved wife and kids. So sorry for your lose. He was an awesome friend, and I am positively sure an awesome husband and father. Will be missed by all that knew Donald. We definitely had some laughs mate and I remember many like they were yesterday... RIP mate.
