Good-bye my friend. Thinking back on many hours of phone conversations … your excitement and anticipation of your many cruises, fishing trips, fishing guides, shopping for and buying a boat, picking up stray or abandoned animals to make sure they got fed or maybe a home, giving someone a job because you wanted to help them or because they had a family to feed. The bazillion hours we talked about real estate, our “Grant” and “ReMax” days, the new changes to real estate, the economy, stocks – we covered it all!

Your generosity and kindness were well known by all who knew you. You truly had a heart of gold.

Your beautiful wife of 56 years, Maxine, has that kindred heart and kindness too – you were a “matched” pair. Our thoughts and prayers are with her at this time.

Rest in that Heavenly place and we’ll see you again in God’s time.

Don, Rest in Peace...I am very grateful for you and what you provided for me & my family. I trust that our heavenly father will take AMAZING care of you. I can see you now fishing w/ no worries on the most beautiful waters ever imaginable. :-)

Maxine, I am extremely sorry for your loss. You are a very strong woman. We are all here for you at the office and will continue to be your support system & see you through this. We all know how much you loved Don. He was a wonderful Man. May God continue to pour out his blessings upon you and help you through this difficult time. xoxoxoxo

I will always remember the first time I met Don. He sold Frank and I our first home here in Modesto in 1990. We met him at the Oasis and signed the paper work. He was a lovely man. My children and I send our heartfelt condolences to you Maxine.
