Our sincere condolences on the loss of your Dad. We will miss Don very much as he stopped by a chat. I will miss going to clean his home every month. His love of the Senators will be missed when he came to watch a game or his short road trips in his Mustang. Our deepest sympathy on the loss of a dear friend. He will not be forgotten.

So very, very sorry to hear of Don's passing. As a cousin I have many fond memories of Don - at Forbes clan gatherings, at Grandpa's farm, and many, many family get togethers. My deepest sympathies go out to the entire family. A life lived well, but ended too soon. May God keep you in his eternal embrace. My thoughts and prayers will be with you as you remember and celebrate Don this weekend.

Rob and Christine,
I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing. Don and I had so much fun at events with the Optimists and golfing together. I used to like when he brought his Mustang up to the house and we'd talk for hours about it. I had the pleasure of speaking about your dad at an Optimist roast out at what was once called Brannigan's (Big Joe's) as he was the outgoing President and I was the in-coming President. I spoke fondly of a very kind and gentle man, with strong family ties, a strong sense of community and a person with a great wit and sense of humor. I shared stories of working at the BBQ for M&M's Crones and Colitis. Don and I were working the assembly line putting burgers together, when all at once the line stopped while you dad enjoyed a burger. When I asked what was up he said they smelled so delicious that he could not resist any longer and without missing a beat asked me hurry up and to make another with cheese for him. All I could do was laugh. Your Dad embodied the main reason I joined the Optimist Club and continue to follow his example to this day. To say I am a loss for words after hearing of his passing is an understatement. Your dad had a significant impact on me as a friend, mentor and fellow Optimist. There was nothing more important to Don than his family and he spoke with great pleasure and pride when the subject came up as to how you were all doing. I will miss him but will remember him with much respect and reverence as a good man, life-long Optimist and wonderful friend. My Thoughts and prayers are with you and your families and this very difficult time.
Optimist

Dear Christine and Rob, Please accept our sincere condolences on the death of your Dad. We met when your parents arrived in Arnprior many years ago and we shared many good times at the "Sullivan Apartments". Your Mom and I were young teachers at St. Joseph's School. As our children arrived, our families shared many playdates and kept in touch for years, even though we left Arnprior for quite some time. Conversation always came easy, in spite of time and distance apart. Your Mom and Dad were so proud of both of you, and of their grandchildren. Christine and Rob, we wish you the very best and hope your many memories are a blessing and bring you comfort. Fondly, Mary & Gerry Pulcine

Christine and Rob and extended Cornforth and Davis families,
Please accept my condolences on your loss of Don. He was the first and the longest of several young lads working at “Union Carbide” who boarded at my family home in the late 1960s, early 1970s. He saw all my family grow up and launch. I babysat Christine and Rob at one point. Our paths crossed many times over the years including with other family members. Cherish your memories and the reunion of Don with his beloved Alison.
