Don P. Llanuza

Go West in peace my childhood friend. May we meet again and fly together some day. May your family find peace and comfort in your memory. I know I will always remember our times together and think of you often as I paint.

Don was a very caring father and I considered him a friend. He gave me good advice as Mark and I shared our interests in photography. He was passionate about his work, which he passed onto his son and my good friend, Mark.

With Love
