On behalf of the Pedersen clan our sincerest condolences go out to your whole family. As you remember we were great friends from the 60's and have always maintained a close contact with Orpha and Phil until their passing, and Don over the most recent years. I had the opportunity personally to visit with him on many occasions and through the years he never changed. He was a kind and gentle soul and will be missed by all those who knew him and were his friend. May the Lord bless you and keep you in his tender care through this difficult time.
Ken and I were very sorry to hear of Don's passing. We had not bumped into him very often after he moved out of his parent's home across the alley from us and into Hardie Manor. Sandi~please accept our sincere condolences. We hope that you and your girls and their families have peaceful hearts going forward. With our sympathy at this time of loss~ Kei and Ken
My mom shared Don's obituary with me yesterday, Sandi, when I visited her in Red Deer. That was quite a shock as he seemed so young. I always thought of him as "twin" to my sister, Twila. Don always struck me as a person walking his own special path. I think the last time I saw him was riding on the back of Sparky's motorcycle. I trust your memories and your family will be great comforts to you during this time of loss. "Cousin" Daryl
