Don was my brother, although we grew up in different households. I first met Don at Christmas break from college in 1947 ; he was 10, I was 17. For most of our years we followed different paths and did not meet again until I visited him, Connie and the boys in 2005. That was a good reunion, spending time sharing memories and 'just hanging out.' I visited again for a few days each in 2006, 2007, and 2008 as I flew back east from my home in Oregon. We remained close for several years and communicated by phone or mail until his last two or three years when we gradually ceased contact for reasons I'm not clear about, but my love for Don was fast.

I loved Don and Connie very much, and know they loved me. I knew his illness was working hard against him for a fully comfortable retirement, but he stayed upbeat as much as possible. Don was a proud dad, and played guitar with Clint and Tate out of desire to be closer to each other.

I wish for Connie, Clint and Tate comfort and guidance as they continue to 'hold the fort,' continuing on each of their paths into the future.

My uncle Don was a figure larger thanConnie best wishes to life to me when I was little. I remember a convertable he had when I was about 6 or so. I thought he was better than James Dean.
Sadly, I lost touch as I got older and followed my own path. I last saw Don and Connie 30some years ago at my Grandmother's in Bowling Green, a pleasant memory. Condolences and best wishes to Connie and the boys.
