Don started at MTS as Leasing Manager around 2004 or 05 when Allstream had been merged into MTS and he and I worked closely together as that role transitioned from me to him. What a great, personable guy he was!! And also, he adored his wife Julia and also loved his Westies, his four-legged fur family. He was always ready with a dole, but funny joke, Had a rough go of it from time-to-time with some of the middle management, as did I, but we both survived that and moved on!! Was happy for him when he retired and have envisioned him happily travelling the cruise ships for the last 10 years. Rest in peace dear friend, and Julia, my sincerest condolences. We never met but I know from everything he said you were his world. - Posted by: Joanne Weir (MTS work colleague) on: Oct 04, 2026
