Barb:
I am so sorry to find out this sad news. I would have been to the wake had I known to offer my support to you and your family. My memories of Don were always those of fun and laughs over stories we would all share be them work related or Simmons related. He was a talented man. I remember all the work that he did for Mrs. Simmons' for the home in Youngstown. I will give you a call at a later time. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
