Guest Book

Not sure what to say?

I can't believe it has been a year already.
There are so many things to share, weddings, babies, dedications, graduations and especially the tough things,like the passing of other love ones, that like you, I was not ready to let go of. I miss your guidance, your wisdom, your amazing wit but most of all just enjoying a cup of coffee and having a nice long chat. I know you know. There hasn't been a single occasion that you haven't been thought of and sorely missed. Your body just gave out...

I thought it would be easier to write in this guest book after alittle time has passed. It isn't...
I miss my Dad so much, not a day goes by that I don't want to call him just to talk.
Thank you to everyone for writing such wonderful tributes about our Dad, please continue to share your thoughts,
Donna

I worked with Don at the Yucca Mountain Project. His love of life humbled me..his brilliance, his devotion to the common good and the ever lasting love for his family were all traits so rare in our frail society. My sincere sympathy to his wonderful family, you were so lucky to have such a fine man in your life..as he was to have all of you. And I was so lucky to have him as a friend.

Our deepest sympathies to the entire family. We miss him terribly but know that he is in great company with all our loved ones at the Harbor Club in the sky.

Don was a true friend and was a pleasure to work for both in the Army and the Department of Energy. He will be long remembered and truly missed.

Don was a good friend to our family for as long as I can remember. You certainly got the ultimate payback to my Dad, a grandson as a DALLAS COWBOY FAN! How did that happen! Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. We will truly miss you, GREAT AMERICAN HERO.

Greg and I would like to express our deepest sympathy with the passing of Don. It has been a priviledge to have Don as part of our extended family.

Don has raised an extraordinary man in James and we see Don's values, morals and love in James and now in Gregory.

Two esteemed community folks I will never forget - A. Don Temple and Walter G. Wirsching. Their dedication to this country is legendary. My thoughts and prayers are with Don's family and those who knew him in Nevada and California.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and kids in your time of grief. We miss you and hope to see you soon.
