I'm so sorry to hear about Don. He was a wonderful man. I remember the great meals he prepared, what a great cook he was (and a major food pusher!) My condolences to the Jeannette and all the family.....

Don probably saved Jerry and I from divorce court when he took over papering our kitchen. he said it was a good thing we started behind the refrigerator because it covered up a lot of our mistakes. of course the rest of his job was perfect.

Your dad was always the mellow, sweet voice during our chaotic teen years! I'm so sorry he went out not remembering a lot of his life. Remember the good times!
