Uncle Don will be GREATLY missed but will live on in many ways in those whose lives were blessed to have him part of it. One thing I will ALWAYS remember about Uncle Don is his quick wit, and ability to tell a good joke.
But mostly bringing joy and laughter to ANY gathering.


I promise to do my best to keep
"The Legacy of Laughter" In the family.
Rest in peace Uncle Don.
I love you and will cherish the many memories with you.
