I must sadly inform you of the deaths of Don Smith.
Don, who died of cancer, had been a member for at least 14 years and many people will have fond memories of him and his wife Doreen with their beautiful golden Labrador dog.
I never actually met Don Smith, however, he had a big influence in my life. Robin put us in touch when I was commissioning my campervan. I had no idea about anything to do with camping or transporting wheelchairs. Don talked me through various things on the phone, thought of issues that hadn’t crossed my mind, made helpful suggestions and was generally supportive in what I was trying to achieve. I kept hoping and hoping that we would be attending the same ramble at some point and I would be able to show him the end result of our conversations. Sadly that never happened. But thank you, Don.
