To Judy and family, on behalf of Huntly Epsom Lions club, we wish to extend our most sincere condolences to you all.
Don was a Member of our club for some time and shall be greatly missed with his recollections of past experiences and stories.
His helps given to bbq’s, managing the local Huntly newspaper flyer with membership posts etc.
How we all enjoyed fellowship at your home for Christmas meals, and of course his willingness to chop Onions…
He would also ride his mobility scooter to assist at the warehouse and sanitze books. ( as long as we had a power cord for recharge he was set)
His smile and love for life and Lions was a credit to him.
He will be sadly missed. Years a Lion first joined 1996 and transfered to HELC 2013

Deepest sympathy to Judy and family and Norm and family on the passing of Don, Colin has often spoken about school times at Koondrook with Don and Co. Always a smile on his face and a cheerful hello , even when in uniform.
Judy and family, Joy and I are sorry and offer you all our deepest sympathies on the passing of Don. In my days of the Kerang Cohuna Police cluster and working with Don he was a jovial and happy go lucky work colleague with a raucous laugh with a she’ll be right attitude and he was never backward in supporting his fellow work mates when he was needed for assistance or back up on jobs. Fond memories “Freddy” and may you rest in eternal peace. Vale.
