Not sure what to say?

I believe my father Delmis C. Snider was stationed with Don. I recently acquired photos of my father in the 1950 along with a Don Foley, who would have been in his 20s. If you would like to see these photos please email me at [email protected]

To Don's Family,

I worked with Don at the Assessor's Office. He was such a sweet man....valued co-workers.... and THAT VOICE.... you just don't forget it.... beautiful! I am so very sorry for your loss. Unfortunately the card I mailed was just returned undelivered today. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

My condolences to Eloise and the family. I enjoyed working with Don in the 59th Army Band.

They say "Old friends are gold, new friends are silver". We hold dear many longterm memories and know many others do also. Our love to Eloise.

I was very sorry to hear that Don has gone to Heaven. But he will keep them entertained there! He was always a wonderful person!!! Kitty Wilson

I only got to meet Don once but I was surprised and pleased at how quickly it seemed like he knew me. He cared about and was interested in the people he met. He connected so quickly to other people and made them feel special. We enjoyed corresponding after that one meeting and letters from him were so much fun to read. We will miss his humor but it is a pleasure to see the legacy of his commitment to serving others living on in his sons. My life is richer because he was part of it, even...

The world has lost a very good, very gracious man. He will be missed.

My sympathy to Don's family. The world has lost a good man. I worked with Don for almost 10 years at the Camellia Bowl. Whenever we needed something done diplomatically, Don was the one we called upon. He will be missed.

Whether speaking or singing, Don's voice was uniquely recognizable and brought smiles to our faces as we sat in the pews of St. Rose. He was sorely missed when he moved away. We are sure the heavenly choir has been increased by one.
In prayer always,
Mike and Barb Turner
