Don and I grew up in the same neighborhood, and played games together as boys. We were also classmates at Texas A & M. He was a good guy, and I am proud to say he was my friend. Farewell old Aggie friend until we meet again at "The next Corps Trip,"and I praythe Peace of Christ resides with you and your family.

I am so saddened to hear of your loss. Don and I shared a long friendship. We were part of a small group that started first grade at Giles Elementary and graduated together at SPHS. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
