I miss you uncle, I miss our laughs we had and our great times we had. I remember one winter we cut wood all winter and hauled it back with your old blue truck. We shared a lot laughs over that winter and cursed a lot too. Not sure if it was over the truck breaking down or the snow that was up to our knees, either way I do remember laughing together. I was very happy to see ya last summer in battle harbour where this picture was taken. I’ll always miss you and you are in my heart forever.I'll miss having our tea and coffee chats. May you always rest in peace.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Uncle Donald's passing, he was one of the very best but I find comfort in knowing he is no longer in pain and he is greeted by all those gone before him in the afterlife. I was so happy to get home last spring to see Uncle Donald and for my beautiful girl Zoey to meet him and see his face light up with her presence. It was so good to see him smile. Aunt Myrtle actually watched Zoey for the afternoon while I went to Indian Cove and I'm sure both her and uncle were in there glee having her there. We will be forever missed uncle, until we meet again. Like I told Aunt Myrtle you and all the others just beat us there.

Donald's innate gentleness, his welcoming nature and the sprinkle of humour he brought with him will forever be missed. We shared numerous memorable moments as we grew together in youth - time spent confiding, seeking guidance in his wisdom. The comfort that lay in knowing he was perennially there for us is irreplaceable. He lives on now not just as a beloved uncle, but an enduring part of my heart.

Uncle Don, it breaks my heart that I even have to do something like this. Being at work today while looking through all these pictures, seeing peoples memories of you and special words about you, along with the pictures I picked out to add, brought tears to my eyes because you made such an impact on every single person that ever crossed your path. It also made me mad at the world, because life is so unfair and I will never understand why. How life could take someone as amazing as you out of it, shows me how unfair it really is. If you were here right now I know you would be telling me something along the lines of “it’s always something, you just gotta make the best of it”. It’s one of the many things you always used to say to me, that makes me try to look at the positive side of things every day, and I look at life that way because of you. Out of all the things you were put through in your life, you never complained, you never let the negatives get in your way, and you always made the best of it, which you made sure I done the same every single day. I wanted to mention a memory I have of you that really stuck out to me, but I have so many I don’t even know where to start. Every moment, every story, every life lesson, every detail and every memory I have of you I don’t know if I can pick just one. It’s the little things and the things anyone would hardly consider a memory that I’ll miss the most and cherish forever. From every time I walked in the door and saw you, saying “what’s ya doin Donald?” and your response always being “what’s ya doin Molly?”. You will always be my Donald and I’ll always be your Molly. From us lying down watching something you had thrown on the tv, us bickering on what was going on and that you could find something better to watch, then turning on wheel of fortune because that’s one of the only shows we both liked while waiting for Aunt Myrt to cook supper, while we tried to solve the puzzle before the other one did. Its the chats we used to have at the kitchen table while you had your cup of coffee and I sat across from you with my cup of tea, no matter how big or small of a conversation we could have been there for an hour at a time. The endless amount of sleepovers I had up to your house, the many times I spent with you and Aunt Myrt in Battle Harbour, being so excited to stay with you guys for a week or two, and it being the thing I looked forward to the most every summer. How you always used to call me your daughter you never had and jokingly always used to say Tyler had a sibling since I came around. How you were always looking out for me, made sure I knew right from wrong, and made sure I never went without as long as you could help it. The times we could be talking, tormenting each other and joking around, saying things and making jokes we probably shouldn’t have been sometimes, while Aunt Myrt over heard us and usually got mad at the inappropriate jokes and things we were saying, telling us to give it up. The amount of times we (mostly you) got her going and made her break out her famous saying “my god Don, that’s shockin bhy” I think is mostly why we done it, we always got her going so we could get a little chuckle out of it lol. I could write until I fill this book from cover to cover of the memories and the little things I’ll always remember about you, but if I had to pick just one memory, it would have to be the time I came up to see you and Aunt Myrt, a part of my daily routine, a little while after you were diagnosed with cancer. Aunt Myrt was out around somewhere or out seeing someone, since we both knew and joked about how she can never stay still. I walked in the house and came up to where you were and sat on the couch with you. You were scrolling through looking for something to throw on the tv, but I decided to ask if you wanted to pick out a movie together and we sit down and watch it. You agreed, and said I could pick it out, I ended up picking out the shawshank redemption. It was a movie I didn’t see until we watched it together, and a movie that definitely wasn’t your kind of thing, but you agreed and watched the full thing with me, just because I wanted to watch it. At some point during the movie you looked over at me and told me that you were so proud of me, and said that you weren’t going to be around forever, I told you to stop talking like that and you put a stop to it. You made me listen to you, and since we weren’t the affectionate type of people, you wanted me to know while no one else was around. You looked over at me and said “Yes I’m not going to be around forever, so I want you to know it now that I am so proud of you. You moved away and done great things, you made your life your own. I would do anything for you that you asked if I’m able to do it. You’re my daughter, and you’re my Molly and never forget it, I loves ya to pieces.” And Uncle don I love you so so much and that will always be my favorite memory, knowing that you thought of me as your own, and that we were so close we could talk about those things together, I trusted you with everything and you were the first person I would want to tell, and that will keep me going through the tough days ahead. We all miss you so much down here, I’ll be sure to have a cup of coffee at the kitchen table for you every now and then. Rest easy Uncle Don. I’ll be sure to take care of Aunt Myrtle for you, I’m sure I won’t be the only one. She’ll never be lonely or not taken care of as long as all of us are around. I love you so much, come visit me in my dreams every once in a while❤️

Dear Myrtle, Tyler and all Donald’s family and friends, We are sending our deepest condolences. Donald was a great fellow, a very hard worker, quiet and unassuming. He and Myrtle shared some great times with us through the years. A ride in boat for bergy bits, bakeapple picking, to just chatting around the table, Donald’s kindness won’t be forgotten. Wonderfully thankful for the memories. Myrtle, we are thinking of you, you and Donald shared a special love. You cared for him beyond measure. Jan, Tom, Michael and Kate Walsh And all the Hardy crew

I want to say that Donald was such an absolutely amazing man who would give you anything he had if you needed it with no hesitation. He always had your back whether it would be need for a tool or a can of gas because the store was closed and you wanted to go for a skidoo ride on a Sunday. He loved spending time with friends and family. I remember a weekend a few years back when Donald and Myrtle wanted us to spend the weekend with them out to their home in Battle Harbour on gun island. That was the best relaxing weekend we had in a while. We had an old fashion coals bbq together in the beach which was amazing and enjoyed by all. We went around the island for a walk and site seeing. He will be forever in our hearts and missed beyond measure. I loved our conversations and stories you shared with us. We so loved getting Myrtle going and I always got the blame for making you bad but you didn’t need any help at all you just played right along for the laugh. I so loved that about you just go with the flow no pressure. You are finally pain free fly high with the angels my friend love you forever.

Sincere condolences and deepest sympathy to Myrtle, family and many friends. We are so glad to have known Donald over the years, a quiet man who loved the Labrador coastal life and his summer homes in Indian Cove and Gun Island (Battle Harbour). A summer visit was not complete without many chats on the wharf with Donald and discussion of the past, present and the future. Thanks for all the good that you offered and did for family and friends. Always missed and never forgotten. Bob & Colette
