Randy, Tom, and Larry, you know your dad was "One-of-a-Kind". Don has many stories that he has shared with others that always made everyone crack up. We will surely miss him at the Bluegrass events. I know it is a sad time for you - maybe because he is the last one. That's the way is was when my Dad passed awaw. My Mom had been sick for so long that she was ready to go and we were OK with it, but Daddy went only three months after her and we were not ready for it. We wanted to take him places that he had never had a chance to go because he was so good and he took care of my Mom for about 16 years. So he missed out on a lot but he would not have had it any other way. They are together again and so are Bill and Elsie. I know that your good memories will help to see you through this sad time.
