I was very saddened this morning to learn that our Car Community has lost another friend - Don Deforest - Don was such a nice guy and I always enjoyed talking with him at different shows and seeing his and Donna's gorgeous Dodge Charger. I would like to extend my sincere condolences to Donna, Kaitlyn, Dave and their family ♥

I just received devastating news. My longtime friend and fellow passionate car guy, Alan Enns, passed away last night after a courageous battle with cancer. Alan and I have been friends since my early days in Campbell River. I always enjoyed our telephone conversations and our visits at his home in Campbell River. Alan was a great supporter of the vihr.ca website and contributed photos and other nostalgia from Van Isle Dragways for the Van Isle Facebook group. I would like to express my sincere condolences to Alan’s wife Lori and his daughters. Alan was a great guy and will be deeply missed. RIP my friend. ❤
