I think it sums up Uncle Don the best, IS THAT FOR ME? You will be missed what a character!
Uncle Don was a great man! Funny and kind.. I remember as a kid being at Grandmas house and he’d walk over to shovel the snow, wave through the window then come in to say hi before he was off to shovel someone else’s snow. He was always happy to see everyone. My love to Aunty Anne. I am sorry for your loss.
