So sad to learn of Dons passing. He was a great bloke always with a smile and a friendly and kind, ‘how are you’. He will be sadly missed by his Puffing Billy friends.

My sincere condolences to Don’s family and friends. Yet another of my long-time Puffing Billy mates has departed the station. He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.
My sincere condolences to all of Don’s Family. We had great times on the 2008 ARE Trip to America. From Disneyland, Queen Mary at Long Beach in CA to every possible tram ride in San Francisco, Alcatraz, Maritime Museum to the Coit Tower. Great times.
Many within our SEC group were saddened to hear of Don’s passing and will miss the chats and in depth conversations. Thoughts to all the generations that are Don’s legacy and you’ve got an increditable role model to remember.
