Oh Don. I have many fun memories of you driving for Osoyoos Transfer, doing reships between Packinghouses. You were always smiling; always had a joke or two to crack. You were definitely a highlight, coming into Monashee office! RIP you, on your scooter with “Helluva Angel” sign on it.
From: Sandra Smith
Condolences to all of the Brunner family. Don always had something to say that would generate laughter in the community. He will be missed. I was cared for by Paul at SOGH, and know that Don’s character lives in his children.
