GEORGE, Donald Edward (Don)

Don, you were a lovely soul. It was always nice to see you and have a good chat. I will miss your stories and your adventures with Muffin. Work wont be the same without you, we’re already missing your smile and laugh.

Sending Barb so many hugs and love, you two were adorable together and Don was so lucky to have you by his side, especially on his bad days.

Big Hugs,
Nurse Charli

I didn’t get to know you for very long, but from the moment I started dialysis, you made me feel welcomed.
You always had a kind word and your stories made me laugh. You are greatly missed, the last session wasn’t the same without you.

To Barb and family
Sorry we will not be able to attend Don’s service as we are in Queensland, actually near Don’s favourite place Boulia. We have fond memories of Don as a fellow active member of the Hazelwood Nth Fire Brigade. In the early days he was actively involved in all facets of fire fighting and as time went on he became one of the founding members of the brigade weather trailer team. Don was a very active participant in the annual Christmas Eve Santa run and had great joy in decorating the trucks and enjoyed the actual lolly runs. The Brigade was fortunate to have his involvement and generosity.
We have great memories. Ray and Mal Beaton

A true gentleman loved by a truly beautiful woman. Barb please accept my condolences.

Gail (past nurse of Don’s)

Don was a very special, kind man. He had a big heart and was like another uncle to me. I met Don as a NAVY Cadet, he was my leader. After I left we stayed good mates. He was always there when ever I needed a friend to talk to, advice or just a bushwalk. Don inspired me to try my best, not give up and to give back to community. I will miss you so much!!

Dear Don
Such a truly pleasure to get to know you through your Beautiful Daughter Helene and our Son Colin … A Gentle Gentleman who Loved his Family …
Our Heartfelt Condolences to your Beautiful wife Barbara ,,Daughter Helene and Son in-law Colin and Granddaughter Kamille..
May you rest Peacefully Don…
So very much Respect for all that we have heard about your Life
Lyn and Carl

Don, I met you when I started Australia Navy Cadets at T.S. Tingira in 2007. What a privilege it has been to know you and to have lived along side you. You have been a great inspiration to me and I will hold and cherish the memories I have with you with me. Rest in Peace.

I was very sad to hear of Don’s passing. My late mother, Alison, was a dialysis patient alongside Don and held him in great regard, often speaking of him with great fondness. May he rest in well-deserved peace.
My thoughts go out to Barbara and family during this most difficult time.

Dear Barbara and family,
My sincere condolences to you all on the passing of your beautiful, strong and determined Don. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to be a part of his care team all these years and to get to know you both. I will miss Don’s stories and his grit and determination, though he can now sleep soundly and pain-free. Barbara, you have shown the most beautiful and genuine love and dedication to Don. I hope now that your friends and family will surround you with the same love and care.
Warm regards,
Renee – Dialysis
