To Shirl and beautiful family.
My deepest sympathy for all who loved the big fella. He was a man of so many funny whitty words. The love you were surrounded by just shows what a beautiful man you were. You will be sadly missed by all who knew you. Sending hugs to all who loved you. Love Kim, Leazie, Seanie and Ashlee Morris.

To dear Shirl and family,
Our deepest sympathy to you on the passing of Don. No doubt he has already joined Mum and Pete for a drink and happy chat.
Sending you our love at this time.
Regards, Bronwen, Steve, Kayla, Peyton, Emmerson and Cooper (Pete’s dog…)

Don came to Mildura Coop at a time when the company were facing a problem with old and inefficient plant and buildings.
Don as a skilled tradesman, and a clear thinker, became part of a team who put together an industry beating and efficient packing and distribution centre at Irymple, which was second to none in the industry.
His knowledge and skills were put to good use, and he became a sought after tradesman.
You have done well Reidie, and you memory will live on as work well done.
My condolences to the family, at this time.
