So sorry to hear of Don’s passing….so glad we had a short visit a couple weeks ago in Elgin…His presence in the fertilizer industry will be missed in our area …as well as his smiling face in a lot of community events …take care…
When I think of Elgin, I think of Don. We took a drive out to Whitewater park last weekend and I remember spending the whole day planting trees with him out there…. he made the day fun… with his laughter and jokes… he was always a pleasure to be around. Rest In Peace Donny… you will be missed.

While living in Elgin with our young family, we came to know Don, Norma and family. They all made everyone most welcome. So glad to visit with Don and Norma when he received his Life Membership Award to AMM. Don was always up for a good joke and always doing something to better life in Elgin area.
My sincere sympathies Norma and family. I enjoyed working with Don in the fertilizer industry. He always made work fun and always made time to ask about me and my family. Rest In Peace Don, you will be missed.
Norma and family: We were so very sorry to read of Don’s passing. We have many happy memories when our boys played hockey together. Sincere condolences . Mae and Bill Day
From Ontario, Patricia and I wish to express our sympathy to you, Norma and your family. When the Arnold family moved east in the late 1950s, as cousins , we spent a lot of time together. He often helped on our farm. I have many fond memories of his happy ways.
Norma and family – sorry to learn of Don’s passing. He will be missed by many. Always enjoyed our short visits with you and Don. We’re sure you many memories of your good times will help you and your family during this time. Take care, Norma and family.
Norma and families,
We were saddened to hear of Don’s passing. Murray worked for Don at the fertilizer plant. I know they had many laughs with lots of joking and fun. Murray once told me, “You know, I would do this job for nothing.” I am smiling as I think of the stories I heard. May precious memories flood your hearts as you say good bye to this fine man. With sincere condolences, Murray and Shirley Brown
Norma, Gail, Jeff and Kim, it was a shock to read of Don’s passing. I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated Don’s enthusiasm for life during my Elgin years. Whether on the ice, fastball diamond or at school, Don always had a smile and twinkle in his eyes. In your grieving for Don, I’m sure many of your stories and memories will cause smiles and laughs. Judy and I pray that you will find comfort in those memories.
Sorry for your loss Norma & Family, my thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.R.I.P. Donnie
We met Don and Norma in Yuma, Az. at our winter home. Being from our great country of Canada and provincial neighbours (Sk) we became close friends. We have wonderful memories of our winters together and over the years met each other’s families and were able to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversaries together. We will miss you Don rest in peace. Love to Norma and Family Jen and Al
I am sorry to hear of Donny’s passing. I loved his sense of humor, his upbeat attitude, and his enjoyment of life. He had great kids and he can be proud of them. I am sorry for your loss Norma.

We are sending our deepest sympathies to Norma and of Don’s family. Don was one of my favorite Elginites. I always enjoyed visiting with him. I worked with him on the Centennial committee. He loved his town and was alot of fun to work with. RIP Don.
I am Don’s cousin. The Arnold’s came to Lucknow On in the mid fifties and our families spent lots of good times together. My father, Vernon, was Don’s mother Violet’s brother.it’s lovely to read all the tributes to him.
