Uncle Don was someone special and will be greatly missed! I am thankful for the times I got to spend with him. The visit we had in May will forever hold a special place in my heart! I enjoyed getting to hear all his stories from childhood and learning more about my Grandpa. Praying for your family as you lay to rest your dear husband and father.
Love & prayers from Victoria.

A better Dad never lived. A better man never lived. To know him was to have deep respect for him. I will always love him and remember the lessons he taught by example.
