For many years Don was the Chairman of our Body Corporate @ 5 The Promenade. Don put an enormous amount of time into this task and the residents greatly benefitted from his design and construction knowledge. There was no problem he could not solve and he was very careful and wise regarding our finances. We all greatly appreciate what he did for us, he will be greatly missed. My thoughts are with the MacIntosh family and I am so sorry that I cannot attend Don's service. Susan Heap
Greetings. I am assuming that this is the late Don Mackintosh who was a Ministry of Works architect in the 1970s/80s? I had the pleasure of working with Don on the National Library Building project, opposite Parliament in Wellington, from 1982 forward, when I joined the Library's staff. It was a good, positive, respectful working relationship and I am saddened to learn of his death. Very sincere condolences to the family. Regards, Alan Smith, Lower Hutt, alanesmith@xtra.co.nz
