I only knew Don for a few months, as I only started my research in October 2020, but he helped to provide a really welcoming and friendly atmosphere whenever he was present. I got to Don a little bit better when I audited his module on Community Archaeology which was a fantastic module and was so enjoyable – the ease of his friendly and welcoming attitude seemed to extend to his teaching style and created a really open and supportive enviroment where everyone could feel uncomfortable to express their thoughts and utilise their own experiences. I also really appreciated how he had created an extensive database of the films he had, which feels so wonderfully nerdy and organised in the best way. Don was someone that I had hoped to get to know a lot better during my time in the department and, even though I only knew him for a short while, I am really sad that he is no longer here with us. Condolences to all of his friends and family. Although he may be gone, I am sure that he won’t be forgotten by all who knew him.
