Dear Mrs Galbraith & family. I had the pleasure to meet & serve Don as a nurse at St Joseph’s. Then came to know his love of harness racing and our Island connections. My dad has passed but was an owner & supporter of the industry ( John Thompson, Sherwood, PEI and my husband a driver John Grady & his father Gordie Grady of Summerside, PEI. I enjoyed his many stories of the tracks & his adventures but most of all his love for you & his family & friends. It was an honour to meet & get to know Don. Thank you Sheila
Our thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathy to all of Don’s family.
For many, many years we enjoyed watching as he trained, healed, and raced.
Donnie was well respected and successful in a career he truly loved.
God bless and comfort your family at this time.
Marty and Don Shannon
My deepest sympathies to Ross and family. I remember when I was a kid being around Don when he would take Gemini Risk over here to race in Summerside. I remember very vividly a night that Gemini Risk won a stake race over here in 1984 in Summerside, and I was just a little boy, probably stuck in the way trying to help. After the race Don gave me $10 for helping. Might as well have been $100! I was so happy! I’ll never ever forget that. And I will never forget Don. Rest In Peace my friend.
So sorry for your loss Ross and Family. I remember first meeting your Dad when our stable was based out of EPR in the early 80's. A true gentleman. Thinking of you during this difficult time.
Carol, Greg and Shawn, Ross and Krista and family, please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your loved one.
Wishing you comfort at this difficult time. Ellen McDonald
