Don was my brother. He was my friend, enemy, teammate, and opponent. He was a good family man who loved his kids, wife, and grandson. He loved to fish and taught my kids as well as dozens of others kids at his beloved club. His was a strong life force that will be missed by all who knew him. His body may be gone but his spirit will remain with us, as long as we are willing to remember the good times he shared with all around him. I love you bro'.

To the May Family,
We hope your pain of loss will pass when stories of fun and happy times of Don are told. We will remember the parties and barbeques of our earlier years. The silliness and laughs we had along the way. We send along a hug to each of you, and will raise a glass to Don. God bless.
