Craig, Jim, Bill and Bob - We are so sorry to hear of your sudden loss. We always looked forward to visiting with Don and Doris on our annual trips to Buffalo. They were the best people to know, and always ready to extend help and friendship to all. It was such a comfort to be able to count on them when times were rough for us. Don has kept us laughing with his emailed jokes, and we will miss him. Our heartfelt sympathy goes to each of you. We will always have a special place in our hearts and memories for Don and Doris.
