Don was a true leader and mentor to many in the grocery business. His impact was felt by 100s of us. I for one will truely miss Don

I am sorry to hear of Don's passing, we worked together at the El Rancho Markets at Tower Plaza in Phoenix and Yuma, Arizona. He was a fine young family man I enjoyed socializing with, I also knew his brothers Billy and Caroll...may he rest in peace...

I worked with Don at the El Rancho Market in Yuma, Arizona in 1961, He was a fine young family man I enjoyed socializing with. I also knew his brothers Billy and Caroll. They were all a credit to the grocery business and I am glad to have known them.

Very sorry to hear of Don’s passing. Our condolences to you Trudy and family. Don was a very special person who always treated people with kindness and respect.
