Don Hoke was a faithful freind. I have known him for over 50 years. He invited me to join the Exchange Club of Dayon. I took him up on the offer and am still a member some 20+ years later.
He was also my faithful CPA doing my Tax Returns for many years up untill his retirement. Many times I have wished he was still doing them.
I offer my condolences to his family & many friends. - Ted Greenwood
