I didnt have the chance to know Don for very long, but I will never forget how sweet he was to me and my mom after the death of moms brother James. I could just tell that he was a great person. He and his wife Florence took great care of my uncle as he aged. I am grateful to them both.

Saw Coach Strother occasionally when i was attending TCU in 79/80 at football and...

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.
