Our deepest sympathy to the Revington family. My sisters and I grew up hearing stories about the “Revington boys” from my father, (Herb Stretton)and many of the photos from dad’s life in Lucan included them whether it was just playing pond hockey or their days with the “Irish”, As we moved from Lucan at a young age, it was always a pleasure to visit with Don & Dave at hockey games over the years in Exeter and catch up. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

David and the Revington family, I am sorry to learn of the passing of Don. He was indeed a devoted hockey fan of the Exeter Mohawks and the Exeter hawks as well. Sunday nights he took his seat by the south end stairs and seldom missed a Mohawk game. You will all miss him as father, grandfather, husband and friend, I will miss him as a patron of the game of hockey. I hope you all have many happy memories to ease your minds
