I first met Don over 35 yrs ago, I was a young referee who was just getting into OMHA playoffs. I was assigned to ref with the legend "Don Bond". He picked me up on main st and never really said much. We went to Schomberg and there were lots of fights. Don handled the game as he did life with dedication and respect. 35 years later , I have refereed with Don in the OMHA and mens league for many years. After retiring from his skates he performed his timekeeping duties with diligence and laughter on his face. I was with him just a few weeks ago and he was struggling with his health. We talked about life and its rewards and pitfalls. To Don's family, we share your pain and grief but know that god has called Don to heaven to referee next season. Rest in peace my friend From the "knights in Stripes"
