Paula we are so sorry to hear of Don's passing. We have our fond memories of our table mates and travel companions from our cruise. We send our condolences to you and your family. He was a good man. John & Nancy Cahill

Paula, We are so sorry to hear this sad news here at Lake Okoboji. We send love and warm wishes and hope to see you next spring. Bernie and Janet Saggau

The utmost sadness I feel is for Paula because she and Don were a union sublime, very much in love with each...

Don was one lucky guy, from the events of his life right up to his passing. I will always count it my good fortune to have known him, not to mention members of his extended family. Thanks Don, hope to catch up with you later.
