So saddened by the loss of such a fine man. I've been knowing Don for many years through Napa,Civil Construction and St.Rosalie. He was always such a nice person and a joy to be around. A great husband, father and friend to all who knew him. You will be missed my friend. Don and his family are in my prayers.

I remember going to the Dauzat's house when I was a little girl.Melvin is my godfather,Esther was my godmother.I remember playing dolls with Kathy and I remember one year Robert and Don made and painted two little bears for me to hang on my bedroom wall.I didn't see the family in a long time, but a few years before my godmother passed a way I got back in touch with her and started writing to her.Even though I haven't seen this family in a long time I still have good memories of them and being at their house and I never forgot them they're always will be in my heart and I never forgot who my godparents are.My heart goes out to you all, and you will be in my prayers.

Don's service was just what you would expect - full of very sad people sharing wonderful, personal stories about a kind, generous and loving man. Your family was blessed to have him and he truly was taken too soon. I hope your hearts heal quickly because I am sure that is what he would want.
