To begin with I'm in total shock recently learning of Don's passing. My sincere condolences to Don's family... I first met Don up on the winter ice roads to Shamattawa back in 2008. We established a fast friendship that lasted right up until his passing. This is so bizarre with him recent having his eyes done so he could continue driving truck. He had himself his own truck 🚛 a canary yellow Kenworth. I quickly changed his handle of "Spidey" to "BIG BIRD!" I warned him he would awaken to TWO large decals of big bird on both doors 😀! I think the truth be known I think he started sleeping with one eye open! We always kept in touch with one another as we both criss-crossed highways both here and in the states. I'm beside myself to learn of his demise as he was walking around like a proud peacock after loosing a considerable amount of weight over the past year after learning he had diabetes. He did really well in spite of his daily beer. There's a lot more I could say but it's rather too personal to share on here. Simply out of respect... He will be greatly missed by me and a great number of others...REST in PEACE DON.... - Posted by: Michael Risk (FELLOW TRUCKER (FRIEND)) on: Sep 23, 2024
