I have know Don and his family my whole life and I was sadden to hear that we lost him this week. He was a close friend to the Downey family and we will miss him very much. I didn't get to know my father's father because he died when I was still a little redhead but by knowing Don and his family, I got to know my grandfather through the stories that they told and I will always hold that near my heart and can't thankyou enough for that. So thankyou for sharing this incredible man with us and may God bless you and your family.
