My deepest condolences to Diane & the Nalley Family
I've known Don since 1976 when I joined the Nassau Sportsmen's Club. He was a great guy that always shared a story or two about his hunting and fish excursions at the club. Always greeted you with a smile. He contributed his time and skill at may many of work parties I attended over the years. He will be missed.
