Not sure what to say?

Thanks for the memories Don. Best friend ever!

Thinking of you Don as spring finally arrives. Remembering all the fabulous times we had together! Thanks for the memories! Best friend ever!

Miss you Don! Hope you are having a Fabulous time! Bet you have everybody laughing! Best friend ever!

Don you are missed by your family and friends. Thank you for being a part of who we are today. You inspired all and at the same time made life fabulous for all of us! Miss you Don!

What a guy who was loved by all. Still miss Don, but I can still hear his infectious laughter. I can still sense the presence of Don as he entered a room full of people. What a guy. I find myself wondering what would Don say or what would Don think as I encounter certain daily activities. Don had a good perspective on a wide range of things. Anyway, still thinking of you Don! Bet you are having a Fabulous time!

There is not a day that goes by that I don't pause and reflect on how great a friend Don was to me and so many others. I cherish his friendship and all the fabulous times we had together. Thanks Don!

So sorry to find out about Don, I was a first cousin and the son of Wayne H. Boydston who was a brother of Don's father, John Baile y. I was just thinking about Don and our family in Chicago when I found his obituary on the internet. I now live in Dallas, TX but lived inArkansas for many years. Again, so sorry for your loss and if you guys are ever in Dallas please look us up.

Eileen & Family
I am so very sorry to hear about Don. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I just heard the news less than an hour ago, had a known I certainly would have been in attendance. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Don will be missed. I will never be able to fill up the candy dish in my office with Tootsie Rolls without thinking of Don. He would come in, and say, my blood sugar is okay, I can have one or two, or maybe, not today, I have to watch it. He was a great mentor to me these last 4 years. He was such a wealth of knowledge, and I drew just a fraction of it from him.
