My deepest condolences to Joan, Billy, Linda and all of the their and Don's families. Don was a wonderful man who will be sorely missed by all who knew him. While mere words can't ease the loss and sorrow you feel, I hope and pray that God's love, your wonderful memories, and the knowledge that Don loved you all dearly will help you through the coming weeks.

I will miss our talks in the alley behind our homes. A true legend, one of a kind, old school, hard working, whose advice mixed with the harsh truth always was appreciated. I will always remember shoveling snow together, and watching Don swing a pick in the alley or his other countless projects.
He is and always will be a role model to myself and my son.

God Speed to your well deserved reward Don.

I know Granpa will be missed and you will think of him often. What a priviledge it is to have known him and for him to have known himself blessed to know n' love you. These are fabulous to recount and with the Words of wisdom I'll gladly share, you may find another and more lasting comfort. John 3:16; 11:41,42; Ps.83:18.

My sympathy goes out to the family during your time of grief. May God loving-kindness comfort you and help you through this difficult time. (Psalm 119:50,76
