Marian, Please accept my condolences. We will miss Don enormously. When he entered a room, everyone noticed. His quiet dignity commanded attention. When he spoke, everyone listened. His knowledge and experience demanded attention. When the work was finished, he did not hang around for the applause. His generous instinct let others have the attention. When a brother needed a sympathetic ear, he was all attention. He was one of a kind. With thoughts and prayers and all good wishes

Don will certainly be sorely missed - a great leader, patient teacher and mentor, a fine friend, and a wonderful person. It was a pleasure knowing him.

The first family that we met when we moved to Queenswood Heights 51 years ago! Neighbours and friends who became family! Our heartfelt condolences to Mrs. Mumby, Dale, Ruth Ann and the rest of the family, we are so sorry for your loss. Mr. Mumby was my dad’s best friend, someone that he truly connected with and so enjoyed his company. As was said earlier by Erin Reid, there are so many wonderful stories, pictures, and memories that will forever keep Don’s memories alive. Sending our love, God Bless, our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this challenging time.
