Don was wit, wisdom and wry charm, wrapped around a powerful moral compass. It was a pleasure and privilege to spend time with him, and record a little of his extraordinary personal history and legacy. His was a life truly well lived. Sending very best to his much-loved Marie, to David, Andrew and Jane, and to the extended clan; thinking of you at this time. Laurie Critchley, Southern Pictures
