Our thoughts and prayers are with Marg, Mark, Anita and their families. I miss Dunis! He defined friendship for me. He modeled keeping relationships current. He was my baseball and hockey encyclopedia. The internet can’t replace him.
Although we only worked together for 4 years in the 70’s in Estevan, Don and Marg became life long friends of ours. Dunis was a prolific reader. I loved asking him what he was reading and then I’d just sit back and listen. I was always mesmerized by his descriptions. He was a role model in so many ways. He always did his best at everything he did. He earned the respect of his colleagues for his work ethic and his character. While he was serious about his work, his sense of humor always surfaced at the right time. I am so grateful for his support and encouragement of me, especially the times that I had no idea what I was doing! And I was his leader. ;-)
Don and Marg’s faith had a huge influence on my spiritual journey. That is life changing. Don was the same man regardless of who he was with - CEO’s or a new hire. He was a humble, gentle man, who treated everyone with respect. That’s called “Love”.
The only time he became irritated was when his Red Birds weren’t playing sound, fundamental baseball. That drove him crazy.
Dunis had a nickname for everyone. I’m The Earl of Weaver. What’s your name?
I miss you Dunis. Thanks for the memories. I love you man. You’ll have the best seat in the house when pitchers and catchers report in February.
We love you Marg,
Bob and Norma Koenig and family
