I came to know & love Don due to his affection for my mom. He always had a kind word for me & was quick with a hug. I know that he's sittin in his boat fishing at only the best place & singing while he fishes. I shall miss him.

I only knew Don from playing bridge at H2U for the past year. We always started at the same table each session. He was a pleasure to play with as a partner or as an opponent. He was encouraging and a great teacher. God bless him and his family.

Don was a quiet man who loved to fish, had a beautiful singing voice, and a caring and loving attitude. I will forever be grateful for his friendship and the many ways he blessed my life. I know God has welcomed him into the Heavenly choir and has already shown him the best fishing spot Heaven has to offer. I thank God that I was able to know him.

Don was a caring and considerate man. He made my mother smile. He was such a blessing to our family when my father passed away 3 months ago. I will greatly miss talking with him, especially about his favorite passion- fishing. I know that he is in heaven right now enjoying singing in God's heavenly choir. I will miss him.

In the short time that I knew Don I thought of him as a sweet and caring gentleman. He loved very much all of his friends and family as his Father had commanded and for that it was rewarded. God Bless the families he left behind and know he is in a better time and space.

Family and freinds, I will miss Don at church and singing in the choir. He sat in the pew behind me and his beautiful voice and friendly smile always made me feel better. You have my deepest sympathy and prayers.

I considered Don a great friend and a great bridge partner. I only knew Don for a short time but I know if I had met him many years ago we would have been life long friends.
