Dear Sharon,We were sad to hear your message of Don's passing. Our visits with you were always relaxing and fun - We will miss watching and laughing at Don while he engaged others in the restaurant in our conversations! I was always happy to see my high school girl friend with such a great guy! Our love to you and we'll see you this winter. Bev Umholtz Wadman

Sharon, Deepest sympathies from me and Frank. I was so crazy about Don. He was a class act-full of fun, lots of laughs and always a kind heart. May he rest in peace and may you find comfort in all the wonderful memories which will always be with you.

Good morning, Sharon. I was so sad to read of Don's passing and wish you and your family my thoughts and prayers.
I can remember when you two were dating at Crawford; he was so very nice and you were so sweet - a perfect match!

Mr. Ball.
I remember Mr. Ball when he hired me for my first job, yes a newspaper box for the San Diego Tribune.
I went on to have an outstanding career in the accounting and technology field because of mentors like him. He believe in me and taught me the simple values of delivery great customer service, which I used in my whole career.
I just found out he lived on 7 miles from me in Murrieta.
May God Bless his family and he will always be in my life. He is now in a better place with my dad.
Love,
Robert Chandler

It was always a pleasure to speak with Don and the love of this life, Sharon. What an amazing and kind couple.
Sharon's stories of their times together are etched in my mind and Sharon's Cookbook is a family treasure.
You will be missed and I hope that Sharon will feel free to reach out to us for any help she may need.
