I only knew Don for a relatively short time, but what an impact he made on my life. I did some work for Bethany Lutheran Church back in 2015 and 2016, I believe. It was a joy to see him every day and I missed him when he wasn't there. Great guy to talk to, listen to, and learn from. I had the utmost respect for Mr. Garling and I'm sad to hear of his passing, but I know he's in better place now. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.
