My sympathy to Isabel and family on Don´s passing. I worked with Don many years ago at DR Beale, we were all so young then, but still remember Don´s calm quiet manner, and great work ethic. He was a proud dad of a very young family then
Regards, thinking of you.

Dear Isobel, I felt sad to read of Don's death, this morning. It doesn 't really seem that long ago, when we used to get together for dental occasions, usually having a good ol ' knees-up, good memories ! It will be quite an adjustment ahead for you & family, having been such good partners for so long especially. Sincere condolences to you all. Warm regards, Lou
