Our hearts are heavy today after hearing the news of Don's passing last night (Jan 15). Lucy, we are so shocked and saddened by the news. I can still hear Don's booming laugh in my kitchen during hockey parent parties! Don coached our kids with enthusiasm and integrity always having their best interests in mind on and off the ice. Don will be very missed in the Westwood Community!! Sincere condolences from the Pigden family. - Posted by: The Pigden Family (Hockey coach and friend) on: Jan 16, 2012

Don was a true gentleman in every sense of the word. Our short time coaching hockey together made me realize how devoted he was to this craft and how he always put the players first and he made it enjoyable for everyone involved. I have nothing but fond memories of Don and I truly regret not having been able to spend more time with him. - Posted by: Jamie Kraemer (Coached Hockey together) on: Dec 20, 2011
