To Rae and family
So sorry to read of Don´s passing. He was a valued Vice President and later President of the Egmont Racing Club in the early 1980´s. He was also a valued rugby player for Eltham from 1944 until 1952. Upon his retirement from the playing field in 1956 Don took up coaching of the Stratford Seniors and achieved the remarkable record of coaching Stratford to seven Taranaki titles out of the eight years he coached.
Sincere condolences to you all - a very sad loss.

To the Carlson family,
Sincere condolences to you all. Many thoughts are with you all at this time. You will be left with many memories to share. Sadly for Don, no matter how hard he tried, the final whistle blew before reaching the "100" try line. It was time to hang up those boots and fly free from any more bumps, bruises and pain. R.I.P. Don.
