It's sad that children of today are missing out on the wholesome entertainment that Officer Don provided. He was and is a treasure to those who remember him today. Rest peacefully, Officer Don.

RIP Dear Man. Such a big part of my childhood. Watched you on TV Monday-Friday. And saw you at Fun Town on Saturday many times. Always laughing and smiling. Would always give me an autographed photo and a fun remark.
