Ronnie: I was so sorry to hear about Don. I know how much you meant to him, he always spoke fondly of you. Don’s passing will leave emptiness in everyone who knew him. He always greeted you with a big smile and made you feel welcome. Our dinners at Vito’s will never be the same.

I know words will do nothing to ease the pain you are all going through. May all the wonderful memories that you have help make this difficult and heart breaking journey a little easier.
Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincere sympathies to the Horn family. I was shocked to hear about Don. He and I have communicated over the past number of years about cars and rallying stuff. Don was a member of the Moncton Car Club, when I was in the NBSCC in Saint John. We rallied many times against each other. Don was a good navigator. I am very sorry to hear of his passing.

I was so sorry to hear of Don's passing. We worked together many years at NBTel. I always admired his sense of humour and politial views. His zest for life after retirement made him seem even younger. My heart goes out to each of you and his companion of whom he spoke so dearly.
— Chris Sprague
I am speechless after reading of your Dad's passing, imagine that, speechless. I was very surprised to read that this morning, as my last visit with Don, as always, was a good one. Like my Dad, Don was a good source of guidance and support as a friend and father figure. Don was one of the few that I managed to visit when I made a trip to Rothesay & Saint John area. He always had time for me when I arrived unexpextantly at the door, and it still drove him crazy when I knocked, as he always pointed the doorbell. My most recent trip to NB, I visited your Dad, as he was heading out the door, but as always, he invited me in and I stayed awhile and made him late for his appointment. This is what I will always remember Don for, these small memories that he created with who ever he encountered over the years. No words of mine could ever comfort you for the passing of your Dad, as a father is irreplaceable figure in your life, but I shall cherish the memory of knowing Don for the rest of my life. He will be missed by many.
With regards
Pat
PS only my friends & family call me Pat

My Deepest Sympathies to Don's Family and many Friends. Don was a very kind and caring person and will be sadly missed.

— Dale Parkhill
I was very saddened to read of Don's death. I worked with Don for a lot of years at NBTel. He will be missed greatly.

Dear Ronnie, Gregg, Derrick & Krista,
Along with all of you, I am in shock. I am in disbelief and denial. There was so much more living to do to enjoy Don’s personality and kind demeanor and his “punny” sense of humour. He was a very dear friend and confidant. There is always so much left unsaid when the unfairness of life intervenes so abruptly. I shall miss our chats on politics; international, federal and local, and wonderful discussions on a wide range of topics. Don was loved and respected by all and an old saying comes to mind which applies to Don. “For those of us who shared his time, t’was part of the luck we had.” May God bless his soul and may the wonderful memories never fade.

— Mary & Maurice Babin
So sorry to hear about Don. He was a great guy, always a joy to talk to and a wonderful community leader...he will be missed.
— Steve Ryan
Don was a great guy. I had a chance to work with him many years ago at NBTel, especially during my role as an account manager and with the mobile group. You simply couldn't help but get a smile within seconds around Don because he was one of the few people you get a chance to meet that was always positive and full of fun. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Take care. David and family.
— David Alston & Family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. We are going to miss his prescence in the neighbourhood. God bless you all. David, Sharon, David Jr., Vicky & Raeanne

We are so sorry to hear of the loss of Don. He has always been such a vibrant personality that it's just hard to believe. I (Karen) got to know Don working together at NBTel in the mid-'70's. He was a wonderful person to work with, a true team-player and mentor. He always had a laugh and a grin and that mischievious sparkle in his eyes! He taught me that we could take work seriously and still have fun. I'm so grateful for these memories. Please accept our sincere sympathies -- in this time of loss we pray you will find comfort in celebrating Don's life and wonderful memories as he would want you to.
— Karen & Richard Hawkins
Our deepest sympathy is extended to Don's family. He was a friend who was very kind and compassionate to all he met. We shared many political meetings in the KV.
— Emil and Margot Olsen
For any of us that knew Don, we know how the earth stopped spinning for a moment and a star was extinguished when Don left us!
I met Don in 1993 as his insurance broker and later was invited to join his Thursday lunch crowd. He always made you feel welcome, accepted and important. His and Steve's eye rolling jokes made lunch always a treat.
His pride and love of his children and grandchildren were so apparent in his stories told through his smiles. To see him with Gladys was to see love. To see him with Ronnie was to see a new love. Both so beautiful.
To his family, Ronnie, Gregg, Derrick & Krista and his grandchildren, may you find some peace in your deep time of sorrow knowing just how many people Don touched and how much he was loved.
— Elizabeth Gallant
My condolences to Don's adult children, whom I have not seen since they were little children. I recently started exchanging regular email messages with my cousin Don but I regret that I did not have time to persuade him that his life long attachment to Progressive Conservatism was misguided and that we never opened the little business we talked about launching 4 decades back--Bell and Horne Enterprises. Maybe in our next lives. You could not find a nicer guy anywhere.
— John R Bell
So sorry to hear about Don. I am an acquaintance from work. He was a wonderful man, always happy and always friendly. He will be missed by many. R.I.P. Don

I have many fond memories of lively discussion about politics - municipal - provincial - and - federal - filled with laughter - interviews where he pulled no punches - and - go to pundit for coverage of elections and leadership races. On a personal level Don was a solid and trustworthy friend willing to offer support and advice when called upon. He was a true community minded leader working in the best interests of Rothesay - the greater Saint John region - and - New Brunswick. My sincere condolences to the family.
Respectfully,
Gary MacDonald

Extremely sorry to hear that Don has passed away. I remember him fondly from my time at NB Tel back in the seventies and the times I would occasionally bump into him later on. He was a very kind, interesting and friendly man. I will miss his smiling face and interesting conversations when we sometimes bump into each other in the Quispamsis area.

A lot of my old mentors & friends have passed away this year. Don & I were frequent lunch partners at Keystone Kelly's during his years at NBTel. The last few years we would get together on occasion at Vitos in Rothesay. I always enjoyed our conversations & I will miss Don's positive approach to life and his insights & observations.
— Chris Bartlett
We were shocked and saddened to hear of your father's death. Shocked, because he seemed in such good shape. Walter had known Don when they were young Boy Scouts in Moncton, although not in the same group. Don and his parents were also good friends of the Meech family for many years, and we have kept in touch with Don especially in the last few years since your mother's passing. We attended the visitation tonight at the funeral home, and spoke to a couple of Don's friends who were able to give us a bit of information about Don's health this winter and his untimely death. They pointed you out to us; however, there was a large crowd there at the time, and you were swamped with people who wished to speak with you. So we thought it would be better to send you our condolences this way. Please know our thoughts are with you all at this sad time.
— Walter & Nancy Meech
Gregg,Krista and Derrick, my thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time. Cherish the memories.

We have been on vacation this week and just heard this morning about your Father. Although we have not seen much of one another for some time there are many fond memories or our days coaching hockey together. Your Father was one person I was always proud to say was a friend and he will be missed by you and all he has touched over the years. Unfortunately we cannot make it today but please accept our sincere condolences.
