JoAnn, Kevin, Sherry,

I am so sorry to learn of Don's passing. He was a really cool man! We had lots of fun talking hockey in his last years and I am so glad that he had the opportunity to lend his expertise to this short lived sport here in Macon. Having lost my Dad last year I know that it is more than you can bear at times. I have had you all close to my heart at this time.

The world will surely miss one of the few men that would tell it like it is. This yankee will miss the familar accent of his friendly neighbor and what has seemed like family over the past years.



Here's to you Don Dockrell.

Thank you for the memories.



Your eternal friend.
