So saddened to hear about the passing of Don Hawkes. We remember Don as a dedicated husband and "Father of Swimming." He had the patience of Job, teaching all those that came along to serve in Swim New Brunswick, A heart of gold, Kindness beyond measure. Both Don and Ruth elevated Swimming New Brunswick to a national level. Thank you Don Hakes for all you did to make life better by your service. Even though we are far away stories that make up our lives has your imprint. Love and hugs to you Ruth and your precious family

I'm sorry to hear that Don passed away, I forever remember him as the guy who kept the timing equipment going at all the swim meets in the SMA pool, continuing well after Michael wasn't swimming anymore. He was always great with swimmers, motivating us when we were down after a bad race. My condolences To Ruth, Michael and family,
"Robbie" Brander

I wanted you to know that I have been thinking about you and praying for you since I heard of Don's accident. We got to know you through FAST when Jim and Michael were in swimming together. Thank you for how you and Don involved your lives in so many kids' and parents' lives at that time. You were a special couple. My thoughts and prayers are very much with you at this time.
With much love,
Gloria

I was shocked to hear of Don's death. I was away, and just found out yesterday. I know he will be missed by a lot of people. I only knew him through swimming but I am sure he was as respected by his home and work "families". He did so much for swimming, and I truly respected the man. A big loss for you Ruth, and I am sure family will get you through the grieving process.Sheila and my deepest sympathy for your loss.
