Condolence: Saddened to hear of the passing of Don. We will remember your family outings on your raft. The captain waving as you passed our dock at # 58.

Condolence: I will always be grateful to Mr Stanley for giving me a "50" in Grade 12 Chemistry in 1984 - I struggled the whole year and I really didn't deserve it but he gave me a pass anyway. I will never forget the kindness he showed and I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

Condolence: So sorry to hear of Don's passing. We will miss him floating around the lake on the raft and his great knowledge of lake water and his prescence at the association meetings to interpret the water quality findings for all of us.

Condolence: I am so sorry to learn of Don's death and I send my deepest sympathy. I always appreciated Don's very dry humour whenever we got together for lake meetings. He clearly felt that the lake was where to relax and not get up tight. He always brought us back to reality. He will be missed very much.

Condolence: I loved volunteering at the Lake Association with Don. He will be greatly missed! His spirit will live on in the great work he did for our great little pice of paradise up here. Our deepest condolences to all family and friends. Jens Urban & Association PSLL

Condolence: Mr Stanley taught me at Colonel By in the late eighties. He was a wonderful teacher who always took the time to ensure we students understood the subject matter. He was one of the most enthusiastic teachers ever. The fact that so many of us remember him fondly shows what an impact he had on his students. Very sorry to hear of his passing and my condolences to his family.

Condolence: With deepest regret Taye and I learned of your loss. Please accept our sympathies during this challenging time. Our thoughts go out to Family and Friends.

Condolence: Dear Jacquie, Sabrina and Phillip, I was shocked and very saddened when Howard called me and told me of Don's death I'm sure the last couple of months have been very difficult for all of you. I send you my love and heartfelt sympathy. As many of the condolences testify he was a well respected good person who has made a positive difference in many lives. I am very sorry that, contrary to to what I told Howard, I will not be able to go down on Friday but hope to see you soon. May the love you shared with Don as wife and father uphold and sustain you now and in the coming days, months and years.

Condolence: Dear Jacquie, Philip and Sabrina, My deepest condolences in these difficult times. I'm sorry to see such a nice neighbor go. He will for ever be remembered for your front lawn's many flowers, walking the dogs and helping dig my car off a snow bank. Take care

Condolence: Dear Jackie Philip and Sabrina Don will be missed . My thoughts go out to you at this time

Condolence: So sorry to hear about the death of Mr Stanley. He was my science teacher back in the early 1980's at Colonel By. He made me curious and ask constant questions. My son even got to experience his love of teaching, as a supply teacher. He would come home with these stories of this great supply teacher. He remained one of my favorite teachers. I will never forget his humour and his desire to make us all reach for more.

Condolence: Dear Jacquie, Philip and Sabrina We are so shocked and saddened by your profound loss. Please accept our sincerest condolescences. Barnes lake has lost a true champion. Mark and Diane Goldenberg

Condolence: Don will be greatly missed in our neighbourhood. It was always a pleasure to have a chat as he walked his dogs or worked around his home. Our condolences to Jacquie, Philip and Sabrina. Kealey family

Condolence: My condolence Don Stanley was my Biology teacher back at Colonel by. It may have been over 35 yrs ago but Mr Stanely was one of the teachers that left me with great lasting memories. I still talk about the memories he gave me today. He was one of my favorite teachers. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Lorna Greenhill

Condolence: So sorry to hear of Don's passing. I never taught with him, but he supplied at Colonel By often and we had some lovely lunch conversations. His upbeat positive attitude will truly be missed. My condolences to his family.

Condolence: I am so sad to hear of the passing of this gentle, respectful and caring man. He could always be counted on for a smile and a funny anecdote. Teaching with him at Sir Wil was a privilege. He was deeply loved and respected. Warmest wishes go to his family as you mark the continued journey of Don.

Condolence: My condolences to Howard and Donna and your family and to Donnie's family.

Condolence: Goodbye Uncle Don I feel so lucky to have had you in my life. You have always been there for me and my children. Always willing to help us out. You listened to me and supported me and reassured me that I was a good person. I learned so many things from you, some things that stand out are appreciation of wildlife, recycling and being a kind person. We shared a love for dogs. One of my fondest memories was going for long walks at the cottage with Rover and Snoopy and picking berries along the way. I admired your courage when faced with a cancer diagnosis. Your appreciation for life really impacted me. I wish you didn't have to go so soon. You are so special to us. I miss you already and always will. My deepest condolences to my Aunt Jacquie, Philip and Sabrina. XO

Condolence: Dear Jacquie, Philip and Sabrina: We were so very sorry to hear about Don's passing. Our deepest sympathies to all of you at this difficult time. Too soon he is gone! Always enjoyed our times together at family gatherings. He will be missed.

Condolence: Dear Jacquie, Philip and Sabrina We are very happy to have shared with your family so many wonderful cottage times: raft rides, fireworks, gourmet meals with fresh bread and Orleans corn. And that will continue. We promise, going forward, to invoke Don's name over each and every Classic coke. We know he will somehow continue to oversee the quality of the lake water as assiduously as always and look after all of the four legged creatures he so loved. Yes,the first one on the lake each year, and the last one off, he was the steward of the Barnes Lake habitat. Thanks, Professor Stanley. Carry on! P.S An image of Don in his signature mosquito-net high-fashion headgear can readily be called to memory when we feel lonely for him. Love, Pat and Bruce, Colin and Craig, Ali (and now her kiddies Seth and Carly who have recently had the pleasure of sharing many of Don's outdoor interests with him.)

Condolence: dear Jacquie, Phil and Sabrina we cannot imagine your pain right now. Don was my teacher, my Beavers parent, my colleague but most of all my dear dear friend. I will certainly miss running into a classroom where he was teaching and hugging him to the surprise of the students! He always smiled and told them I was his favorite student. judging by the tributes coming in on facebook Don Stanley was the favorite of many many students. I will miss you Mr Stanley, rest in peace. xo

Condolence: My condolences to all of you. I was very saddened and sorry to hear of Donnie's illness and passing. My thoughts and prayers are with all your family Jacquie,and with Howard, Donna and their kids along with Susan and her family

Condolence: Dear Jacquie, Philip, and Sabrina. We are so sorry to hear about Donnie.

Please know we are holding you all in our thoughts and prayers.
