I just found out that Don passed away. I am so sorry. I was a company rep for an insurance company and called in Dons agency. We quickly became friends. He was a kind man and his family is wonderful. I am so sorry to hear of his passing.

"Fronzie,So sorry to hear about Don." I met him the beginning of our Sophomore year. (1961)... He always wore a big smile, one exception being ,the night he side swiped his dad's new 1962 ford Galaxy,while pulling out of a parking space after attending a 'football' game at the old Junior High. He was a Great Guy and a Good Friend. His brother Roy was a friend of my brother Vic. I always enjoyed his company and breaking milk bottles at the IGA. It saddens me to feel your loss...His friend, Terry Leith.

To all of Don's family, my deepest sympathy. Growing up as one of Tandis' friends, Don always made me laugh and I just loved his unique personality. I will miss bumping in to him around Derby as I have for the last 20 years. Sending peaceful prayers for the family. Shelli Adams, Derby
