Not sure what to say?

Margaret and family so sad and with sympathy for all of you.Our hearts go to Richard, John and Joni as they grew up with our children and they have memories. Don was the same age as my Richard,he remembers many basketball and sports stories. You and Don helped him so much in his business and we thank you. He was kind and helped our Lexington to be a great town. May God Bless you through this difficult time.

God bless you and your family, Margaret. I pray for peace and healing for each of you.

Some of my fondest memories from childhood are times spent with the family in Lexington; talking, laughing, eating good food, and of course listening to Uncle Don’s wonderfully entertaining stories. I can still hear his voice saying “Hey Shug” before he told, once again, the story of the time he tried to encourage me to eat potato salad at the beach! (Ha, ha I still don’t like it, Uncle Don!) Don was a wonderful man, full of love and kindness. I’m so thankful for his life. Aunt Margaret,...

I am so sorry to hear of Don's passing. He was my Daddy's first cousin. I will keep you all in my prayers.

Margaret, Richard, John and Joni, I am very sorry for your loss. Don was a Great man and a Great Boss. The world will be a little smaller without him. I will pray for comfort you as you remember him.

Thinking of you, Margaret and sending prayers and love.

Margaret, Richard, John, and Joni. I am so sorry for your loss. Don was a great man. One of my fondest memories of him is how much he loved his little dog. I remember baby sitting the doggy (I cannot recall his name), and I thought, if anything happens to this dog, Don will fire me for sure!!! Good memories!

I will be praying for you all.

Sorry for your lost. May Don Rest In Peace.

Uncle Don, you are loved and missed by so many. Your last wish was to just "be happy"; I will do my best every day to honor them. Aunt Margaret, Joni, John & Richard, you are in my thoughts & prayers. May time ease the sting of loss. Love, Julie
