Don and I work plenty of years together down there at the plant. I always enjoyed our little chats about antiques and cars. I enjoyed buying from him. He bought for me. We picked with each other about being related. He's going to be sadly missed

I started my job out of college 10 years ago and Don was one of the first people I worked closely with. He was so open to teach and always willing to help lend a hand. He was always kind and friendly to me and all around made me and those around happier with his humor and smile. I’ll miss him dearly and I wish peace and fond memories forever to his family and close friends.
