Dear Family,

I just found out about Uncle Don's passing. My memories of him were of a loving father and husband. His handsome smile and kind nature were always present. I remembered how he loved his dogs as well. Just a very sweet, giving man.

Thank you family for sharing him with us.

Love,

Brenda
