You are in my thoughts and prayers. I have many happy childhood memories of time spent at Uncle Don's house. I wish so much time hadn't been wasted and that our whole family could have been closer. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything.

Don was always a good friend and golfing companion. The only time I ever seen him mad was when the golf ranger approached and requested that he move a little faster. You can picture that moment. God Bless you Don and the entire family.

I only wish that I had had the chance to meet and know my great-uncle. May God comfort those close to him at this time.

Warm blessings,
