The family have requested family flowers only. If anyone wishes to donate in remembrance of Don, there are several options you may wish to consider.
1. Donate to a charity of your personal choice
2. Donate to a fund which was originally set up to assist Don's widow, Jan, to travel to and from the hospital in which he was staying, but will now be used to help her manage funeral and other costs. This can be found here:
PPRuNe Pop Fundraiser
3. Donate to Combat Stress, which is a charity helping service veterans who are experiencing mental health issues because of their service to their country. Don served in the Tank Regiment during his life and had a special place in his heart for servicemen and women. Last year, this was one of the charities chosen to benefit from some funds which were managed by Don and the money made a real difference to people's lives. This particular charity also appealed to Don as they have low administration and management overheads and therefore more of the money donated actually goes to help those it should. The charity can be found here:
