To the Minton Family my prayers and concerns go out to you. I enjoyed the conversations that I had with Don while he was at MCA waiting for Jackie to finish Music class with the Jr High. He was always jovial and had a great smile. I will remember those visits. Pastor James

Dear Jackie & family:
So sorry to learn of your loss. I have good memories of Don, myself, and you too, when we all were growing up together, when his folks lived right behind us on Willow St, in the NW part of Cdale. He was a good man, good business man, and a great friend. Our prayers are with you and your family.
