I´m so sorry to hear of Don´s passing. Don and my Dad, Joe, worked together at Cooper Henderson Motors a long time ago. In recent times they had a stronger connection, and it was awesome to see Don at Dads 80th a few years ago, and he was of great support to Dad, when my Mum passed. To me, as a 16 year old, doing some car grooming over the school holidays at Cooper Henderson Motors, he was my Boss, and, I believe the vivid memory I have of him telling me....´that car isn´t clean, do it again!´, set me on the path of having a good work ethic, and to do a job properly. Sadly I never pursued the path of a Car Groomer, but his words continue to make me smile. Much love to your families. Regards Lisa Moore (was Greenaway)
