John FeketeBarb,Danny, Pam, Bob, Tim, Kim,
My heart goes out to all of you my brothers and sisters of my additional family..
I’ll always remember Don as the most intelligent and funniest people I’ve ever known ! The one memory that comes to mind is when I was playing baseball against the Bothwell team and Don was in real good form with yelling out zingers to the opposing team…it got to the point when one of our guys was fouled by their 2nd base.. well, Don had such a field day with this kid that, the kid got so incensed, the umpire removed him from the game for misconduct.. the whole crowd began to applaud Don and encouraged him to stay standing behind the Bothwell bench, but the fun was over and the coach had to almost restrain the player..
It was the best night I ever had playing baseball the whole year !
He also had a heart of gold and was there for my parents when we lost my brother..
He was a very good man and shall be missed !
All of my love to you all barb ,Da, Pam, Bob, Tim, Kim.

Elaine GrayDon was my very favorite Father-In-Law. I have loved him for @44 years. I haven’t heard a cross word from him before. He has been happy and loving towards Bob’s (his middle son) and my children; Jessica, Rebecca, Vanessa and Melissa.. His great grandchildren from Bob’s lineage were: (Jessica) Presley, Conner & Sophie; (Rebecca) Ava & Ethan; (Vanessa) Abbi; (Melissa) Maks, Makenzie, Annie & Theo. All of these loved ones will dearly miss Grandpa & Great Grandpa. Don and Bob worked at the same Ford Talbotville Plant for many years. This connected the families just a little bit more. It will all be good when we will be together again. For now angel Don can help protect us , should we need it as we travel through our daily lives. Rest In Peace, Don, Dad, Grandpa & Great Grandpa.
Debbie Don will always be remembered for his kindness loving and funny jokes. My children and I will always have those fond memories of you. Thinking of all the family at this time and knowing that he is at peace. God Bless from Debbie, Dave , Tina and family xx
