Mr. Dion,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served with the U.S. Army during the Cold War. Millions of Americans slept safe at night because you and your fellow Servicemen stood ready to defend our Country. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Don,
met you at Norm's down here in Tennessee and emailed and talked on the phone about your trips to Myrtle Beach. Really hate to hear of your passing. I have known Norm a long time and I know he is feeling the pain of loss. To the family, Don was a good person, like his brother Norm.
