We had the pleasure of being Don's neighbour for 3 years when we owned the Capricorn Motel across the street from his home. He would always take the time to honk and wave at us any time he saw us going about our daily routine at the motel, as he was coming and going about his day. Even when we had our backs away from the road, anytime we heard a honk, we knew it was Don! And if we ran into him anytime we were walking our dogs, he would always stop in the middle of the road to chat, even if people had to go around us. It was great talking to him, he was a wealth of knowledge about the area and the people, and told his stories in an entertaining way. He was always ready to share his knowledge, or loan a tool if we needed to borrow one. He was everything a good neighbour should be and a nice man, who will be very missed. Our condolences to his family and friends.

I have struggled with how and what to write here. As someone who has lost a parent and had tragedy in their life, I feel for the ENTIRE Slate family, and No words in any language in any universe could ever express the sorrow and loss I have in my heart for the Slate family. I still find it un-imaginable that Don has left this world! His son Tyler and I spent many formidable years together. If it wasn't for Don, I know I wouldn't have become the person I am today without his Kindness, knowledge, guidance and sense of humor. Don & Pat were my second parents. They always welcomed me into their home and lives, not asking for anything in return. This is evident in how their children (Tyler and Teena, et al) treat people today. Even though I have moved to the other side of the country when I had the opportunity to visit Don our conversations would pick right back up like there had been no time between them. I always comment to him how he never seemed to never age, he appeared to me like the same man I met decades ago.
It's been a week of special and wonderful memories.
I am going to miss you Dad #2 Love Always

To the whole Slate family from all of the Taylors...We send our love, and condolences. We have great memories of Don on the river with Phil and Dick at a very young age. The boats couldn't go fast enough.
He was a true river rat his whole life and was a terrific man, husband, Dad, and friend. He will be missed by so many. Keep all your memories and pictures alive and he will continue to live in your heart. Much love to all!

Condolences to the entire Slate family. I cannot begin to imagine the loss you feel. Don was a special friend to me and my family. We will miss his smile and his optimism. I remember the time my sister and I were struggling to put a bed frame together. Don tossed away the directions we were reading. He said, "these are no good." He just got out a hammer and fixed the whole thing in a jiffy. That was Don, he could always make everything better. We will miss him terribly, but as Ally said, he will always be with us whenever we go out in the boat on the River.

Words are not enough at these times. I remember being kids and young teens visiting and having good times. Meeting up in stores and having quick chats. Both Pat and Don retelling stories of how them and how my parents and they all met and became couples.i will always rember Don's infectious smile and laugh. My condolences to Pat, Tyler, Tina and the grandchildren at this most sad time.
