You could meet Don only once and you’d never forget him. His qualities were so endearing.
Don’s charisma and abilities forever touched so many lives. Thankfully, mine was one of them.
My deepest condolences are extended to Marion and to the entire Mumby family.

Although there were many miles and numerous years between us Donald was a wonderful “big” brother. I always felt his love and support. I will miss his advice, encouragement and comfort. I l enjoyed his family updates which showed the love and pride he had for his family. Larry and I send our thoughts and prayers to Marion and all the family.

Marion, Don will be missed by all who knew him. He was a great Mason, and a very good friend, he has joined all of the Brothers who knew him and have gone before.
As my Brethren from Bermuda sang, "We will all be together in the Grand Lodge above".
My sincere condolences to the Mumby family.
"Sayonara" Mumby-san.
