We are very sorry for your loss but so thankful for the legacy your wonderful father leaves. Eric and Jane make the world better, and I´m sure the rest of the family are also amazing. I saw Mr VanRenterghem do a re-enactment of an historical figure in the hot sun-never complained, sweated-nothing! That passion for history won him my everlasting admiration.

Don was such a special man. I so enjoyed him in the Bible studies at Primrose. He was so knowledgeable on history. We shared many a discussions and he always taught me something. Prayers for the family.
