Thinking of my cousin Don and all of the family today. Will always have very fond memories of Don. He was always a pleasure to be around. Loved his humor.
Much love to my family members today.

I am truly sorry to hear of Don's passing. I knew Don and his wife when he was a member of the American Legion in Central. He and his wife were friendly to every one that cross their path. May he rest in peace.
