Sorry to hear of Don's passing. He and Lanita and my parents, Sam and Imogene Wollum, were lifetime friends. Don was in my parents wedding! Our families were intertwined through our Aunt Gwen. Your mom and dad were always fun to be around. Hang tight to good memories! Cheryl Wollum Hamilton, Fort Myers Fl

My sympathy goes out to the Nichols family As a distant family member I have only met this man one time but he left an impression on me of being a great family man , one of honor and love for his wife and family. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Love and hugs to the family!
