Brenda, I am so very sorry to hear of Don's death. God's blessings on you and your family for strength in the coming days. You may remember that not only did I go to high school with both you and Don, but Don and I went to grade school together. In fact, he was our paper boy. I have great memories of both of you.

My Uncle Don is now resting with my grandparents and free of the pain he had. His teachings will live on in his son, grandchildren, my sister, my cousin and myself. He taught us all how to love one another, how to strive to be the best and also that it doesn't hurt to take risk. He let me see parts of the country I may never have been able to see. He was a great brownie and chocolate chip cookie baker and a fantastic uncle. Start fencing in that cattle ranch in heaven Uncle Don. We all love you!

Mr. Toone was very special to our family. My boys have worked at Barneys for years. It was just a part of summer spending time with the Toones on weekends.
He will be missed.
