Marilyn/Larry/Murray and families,

I heard the sad news today.I am forever grateful to Don for giving me my chance to work for the Forest Service of British Columbia in 1981.This was followed by numerous years of fun times at badminton tournaments all over Vancouver Island.Those were the days...
My thoughts are with you all.

Very sad to hear this. I bumped into Don as the MOE Habitat Tech assigned to provide a greener viewpoint to the Campbell River Forest District. Under Darcy's and Don's leadership I always felt listened to and benefited from a high level of mutual respect.

To Marilyn, Larry and the whole Sluggett clan.....I had the pleasure of working with Don twice...first in 1975 on the Squamish Forestry Crew, and later in Campbell River. Marilyn might also remember that you were also my landlords for a while..my wife Colleen and I rented your house on Glacier Crescent, our first house as a young married couple. I always enjoyed Don, and respected his leadership. A good man gone...RIP Don.

"Don was always receptive and open to two-way conversation. I always felt comfortable providing Don with Ministry of Environment, Habitat Protection Section's strategic planning ideas and operational updates. He was a sound resource manager as well as a kind and generous man. Delivering fresh corn from Saanich to his staff in Campbell River? Just one of many worthy testimonials."

Don worked with me for many years as an Operations Manager. His expert knowledge of the job and professional input to problem solving was much appreciated. He very much earned the opportunity to take over from me as District Manager of the Campbell River Forest District.

Always good times at the Brentwood Community Hall under Muriel and Avril's caring and sharing watch. We were so lucky to grow up in Brentwood. It was the best of times.

Don and I grew up together and I always thought of him as being the invincible one. His loyality to family and friends was to be greatly admired. And now he has passed on and we will all miss him.
