My deepest sympathy Linn and the family. Don was my Math teacher in Waterford for Gr. 9, Calculus and Physics. He had a significant hand in my entering the teaching profession via U of W as a Math educator. Later we connected through FB where he continued to share his love of numbers! A great loss, but Don is in a good place now! Brian Raaflaub

Mr. Giles was one of my math teachers and also my home room teacher for a year in the 90’s at Waterford High School. He was one of my favourite teachers. I was not a fan of math but Mr. Giles always took the time to explain things and made me actually look forward to going to his math class. I thought he had a great sense of humour and I’m grateful he was a part of my high school years.
I’m very sorry for your loss.

Don was a valued colleague and friend for over forty-five years. He was a talented and respected teacher to thousands of students, many of whom (my children included) regarded him as their very best teacher.
Don was also many other things: mathematician, inventor, advisor, consultant, and friend.
Linn, Elaine and I extend our sincerest condolences on your loss.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Mrs. Giles, during this difficult time. Don taught 2 generations of our family and inspired mathematical excellence in both of them.

Hi Linn, we wanted you to know that we are thinking of you during this difficult time. Last time we saw Don he was sitting in his 'teacher's chair' at the Perks, enjoying friends and food. Heartfelt condolences, Barb & Gray Stewardson
