To John, Gabriel and family,
Those of us in the GIN group who have been part of the industry's history will all have their own memories of Don. My memories of him are in the nursery industry, an astute businessman, staunch supporter of the industry and always a gentleman. In lieu of flowers, GIN has donated to Trees That Count in Don's memory, so that his legacy is not forgotten.
Our condolences to the Liddle family.
Frances on behalf of Garden Independents Network.
