Don was a great friend to me and gifted us all with his wonderful cheerful spirit. Full of energy and a great love for this country and its people, I will always remember Don. We were blessed recently to enjoy a fall day together in his classic Wisconsin made Dunphy wooden boat on Lake Geneva. A great day and a lifelong memory.
