Not sure what to say?

We had a lot of fun together, I learned a lot about jeeps from Don, He had a lot of great ideas that made jeeping more fun and safer.

Don's knowledge of all things JEEP could fill a very thick book. Don always took the time to help a person through a problem. Don will always be tops in my thoughts.

Don, you didn't know it at the time but you gave me the jeep bug,in the early 70s I wanted a jeep for hunting purposes didn't have a lot of money but you were able to sell me a M38-A1 that was complete but it was broken in half. Seems the Air Force dropped it from an airplane and the chute didn't properly open so it landed hard. I took it home striped to the ground and rebuilt it with a fresh 283 GM engine.

Thanks Don for your service to our country, being a veteran as well, I appreciate your service. I also appreciate the years for friendship we enjoyed together. It wasn't just about buying parts, it was the knowledge that you shared on how best to do things to make our jeeping safer and more fun. Buying parts was only a small part of seeing you, it was the stories and laughing we enjoyed together for so many years that was the best.

Thanks again old friend, we'll meet up again along...

R.I.P. Don you will be missed. You were always there at the play days and shared with us many a story and loved all you jeeps you displayed at our events. You have earned your wings my dear friend. Fly with the angels

I always appreciated the simple words of encouragement Don would offer me as a young racer. He was a very special man and I am thankful to have known him.

Don always made me think of the Reader's Digest series "The Most Unforgetable Man I Ever Met". I know I will never forget him and he will be missed!
