Mary and family, very sorry for your loss, Don was always nice to me, from the time I was a dumb kid bothering him at his gas station or shop up until the last time I saw him last summer and he patiently answered my questions about the Sterling Plumbing Sprint Car, he will be missed by everyone that knew him

I will miss the late nite rides to the RV with Don at the Indiana State fair. We had a ton of laughs. Don and Mary made the ISF a great place. I can continue his stories because I heard them repeatedly. He will be missed. The entire May family sends you our condolences.
