Don was the best big brother a sister could have. If I needed him to talk about something he was always there for me. If I needed him to fix my kitchen I could always count on him. He was my husband Richard's best friend since high school football & baseball and he loved his curling especially with his son Ross. He was always one of the all time good guys. I will miss him more than I can say. Until we meet again my brother. - Posted by: Doreen Sidorchuk (Sister,) on: Aug 22, 2026
