Jessie, my condolences to you and yours, Don always had my respect and that of many others as a peaceful and selfless man.

Don, will be missed by all the crew of the Tug Koraki.
Although we only knew him for a short time he embrassed all that he had contact with, he shared his knowledge and his friendship.

I hear the seabreeze sigh your name
The hiss of foam
And the relentless swells still calling
With the shimmers of scaly silver
And the great fishes tailing
All in heaven, on earth
And the oceans know
The man is home

Fondly remembered as a good man, and a patient teacher of the nautical arts. Our thoughts are with you Jessie and family.

Dear Jessie. thinking of you at this sad time. I was married to Wallace Chapman, Les and Julia's son. I remember meeting you and Don a few years ago. Very nice man. Lolomas to all the family. Fay Chapman.

Our thoughts are with you at this very sad time. We caught up with Don several times at Kawau when he was working there and it was so lovely to catch up each time. He was a great person and we know will be very missed.
