We were very saddened to hear of Don’s passing. Over the years Helen and Don gave us such wonderful hospitality and fun conversations. We also very much admire all their/his community work and strive to emulate it ourselves. Wendy has fond memories of visiting Sandy Hook one summer and performing her puppet show for the church summer camp of enthusiastic children. Tam continues to admire Don and Helen’s compassion and giving attitude for family and the community at large. - Posted by: Tam and Wendy Godfrey (extended family ) on: Jun 25, 2016

To the Tole family Don was a great man and a dedicated Kiwanian. He helped so many children and adults throughout his time with our organization and served as a wonderful role model. We will miss him! Jane and Gus Erickson, Kiwanians from Nebraska - Posted by: Jane Erickson (friends through Kiwanis) on: Jun 02, 2016

Very saddened to hear of Don's passing. Don and Helen always welcomed me into their home. I remember having iced tea with them while they worked on the crossword from the newspaper. They also helped me make a move back to Saskatchewan. Though we have not visited for some time I think of them with great fondness. Helen and family, may the love you have for Don carry you through the days and weeks to come, knowing he is always with you. - Posted by: Kathy Gudnason (Friend) on: May 31, 2016
