We met Don and Sharon at the lake when I started grooming their dog Daisy. Don and Sharon were such fun loving, warm people and we hit it off. We had many coffee and breakfast dates and visits through the years. We sure enjoyed spending time with them. Rest in peace Don and say hello to Sharon.

We are so deeply sorry for your loss Derek and family. He was such a wonderful person. I'll always remember his kindness, warmth and especially his sense of humour. He had a way of bringing a smile to people's faces and making even ordinary moments feel special. His laughter and good humour will be deeply missed, but the memories (our family camping trips) he leaves behind will always be cherished. We are thinking of you and your family during this difficult time and wishing you strength, comfort and peace in the days ahead.

Our sincere condolences to you, Derek and family. Your dad was one of a kind. His wit and humor was second to none. I had the good fortune of spending every day with his fun-loving nature for several years while we worked together. Many fond memories of him, and he will be missed for sure. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
