I was so saddened to hear this shocking news. Don had a truly amazing personality and his contribution to photography and photojournalism can't be overestimated. He will be dearly missed by our photo community. His work will continue to change lives for many future generations. With deepest sympathy.

I was saddened to see that Don had passed away. I recall him as a very caring, compassionate and competent Ambulance Officer when we worked together at the Wellington Free Ambulance. He was much respected by all who knew him and as his death notice notes a true gentleman. To Ruth and family I send you my deepest sympathy.

The needles stopped clicking on January 8, 2021 when Mum was reunited with her loving husband Michael. Loved mum and mother in law of Michelle and Paul Dunstall, Paul and Nicky, Patrick (Joe), Nick and Helene (Australia), and Bridget and Richard Ball.
Cherished Nanny, Nan, and the Old Chook of Katherine and Quane Dunstall; Hannah, Molly, Ruby, and Toby; Blake, Sahra, and Jorja (Australia); Quentin, Cooper, and Aurelia Ball.
We wish to thank the staff at Taradale Masonic for the care and affection they have shown mum during her stay with them, you have all been incredible.
A service to celebrate Margarett’s life will be held at Chilton At The Black Shed, 36 Awatoto Road, Meeanee on Wednesday, January 13, 2021 at 1pm, followed by her burial at the Western Hills Cemetery.
To keep mums generous spirit alive and the knitting needles clicking we would appreciate a donation in mums memory to the Knitting Nanas, a wee group of friends who knit for love not money. Those she loved were always wearing a warm hug from the love that went into the wonderful things she made for us.
