John & I didn't know him well but what we did know we sure did enjoy. We could tell just in the time that we knew him that he lived life to the fullest and really enjoyed his accomplishments. If you ever need anything please don't hesitate to ask. Were here for you.

Well, what can I say??? Lilo, you know how much I loved our visits. Don always had such great input and stories to share. He was, as I put it in my own words, a "Fire Cracker" LOL. He definitely will never be forgotten, a well rounded man. To Eric, I am so sorry too... you take care of your mother now... She needs you. To Jean and Nancy, so sorry... Your father was wonderful. He always made me feel welcomed :)... Christine too... take care of your mom. You guys all gave me some nice memories to hold onto. Glad I had a chance to be part of the family. I wish nothing but the best for you all. I would be there Mon. but you know I can't due to my surgery. God Bless... Love, Sue

Lilo, I can't tell you how sorry I was to read of Don's passing. I'll miss his visits to our office and his incredible stories. One year he brought me a few chapters from a book he had written, and I still have them in a file in the office. He led such an interesting life, and you were the light of that life. He was truly one of a kind! May God bless you with peace, strength and surround you with love.
