Ruth Ann,
I am sorry to hear about the passing of Don. I only met him a few times and I know I was only scratching at the surface of all the stories he had in him. He seemed to have a zest for life and I guess this is why he has done so many things in his life. May all the memories continue to make you smile.

We will miss Don stopping by our house on a regular basis, especially during mango season. He was a great friend to my daughter and I but especially to Terry. He was a wonderful man, we will miss him. Our sympathy for your loss. We hope they are fishing together in heaven.

My sincere condolences to Don's family and friends. Don was a brilliant soft-spoken gentleman. His leadership at the bank was legendary. I enjoyed playing tennis with Lloyd at Don's home back in the day. May he rest in peace and may your fond memories comfort you.
