Sharon and Family
I am very sorry to hear about Don’s passing.
I met him 62 years ago at Kleinburg Public School, and saw him randomly over the years through high school, and then at King City High School in later years, where your children, and mine attended.

My heartfelt condolences to your family during this time.

Mr. Snider always made me smile, he had an energetic hello and always made me feel welcome at your Kleinburg home. So many fond memories of him from my childhood, from Bindertwine to Baseball games, Mr. Snider was always dedicating his time to the community.

Thinking of you all.

My condolences to Sharron and family.
I first met Don at his Uncle Norm’s BA gas station. From that day he became a good friend. Don was humorous and also opinionated which made him a very likeable. I know this last year was devastating for Don but he never stopped fighting. Going to miss you Don.

Condolence from Patty Somerville on February 20th, 2024 12:38 pm

On behalf of my late husband Scott and myself, I send our deepest sympathy to you, Sharyn Lynn and your family. We have such fond memories of the afternoon and evening we spent with you and Don at your cottage in PEI. Scott and I loved our visits to PEI so much. It was a special place. And, that evening, Don produced the most delicious pot of steamed mussels that we all enjoyed over great reminiscences. I hope that all the memories you have created together will comfort you in the days ahead.
Patty Somerville
