I met Don a few years ago. He had his Navy Veteran hat on. We struck up a conversation and got together pretty much every Sunday before he went to the radio station to do his polka show. We were both in the Navy, both radiomen, and had many stories to share...it was great. He battled his illness bravely.
Don,I'm glad you're free from the limitations your body put on you.
Much love to the family and friends...
