So sorry for your loss

Don was always a great guy with a wonderful smile! They just don't make them like him anymore! Ju st a class act. I'm going to miss running into him & Sharon at different functions.

I am saddened to read about Don's passing. I remember my first year at FLC and meeting Don at Wall Drug. Such a cool drug store. I can still picture going in to fill a Rx by him. What a kind and helpful man. Then years later we were fortunate to work together on the Electra Lake Club matters. I would get him mixed up with the Parson's Drug pharmacist and he would correct me! He was smart and detailed and wanting the best for everybody. His professionalism and understanding of finance...

Howard and I are so very sorry to have heard about Don´s passing. We missed seeing you occasionally at your cabin. Hope your family and Don´s are remembering the great connection you had and expressing good memories, Sharon and Family. Sincerely Karen Preston

So sorry for the loss of your dad Idelle. Thanks for your message on Greg's page. We are both grieving this March. I hope to give you a hug at our 50th next year. Take care friend.

Don was a wonderful mentor and friend. He was a huge part of my teenage and college years. I am so sorry for your loss.

Don was a very good man and an excellent pharmacist. My Dad, Ross Brown, who owned the Basin Rexall Drug Store in Durango, worked part time for Wall Drug after he retired way back in 1972. Dad really enjoyed working Don's store and I enjoyed visiting Don and Gretchen when picking Dad up to/from work at Wall Drug. Another , and one of the last, great downtown Durango businesmen that made Durango "what it was" back in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. We will remember Don and the store...

My deepest condolences on the loss of your father. I have a lot of good memories from the early days on Columbine Ave.

I am one of those "Durango old timers" (though I no longer live there) who remembers Mr. Greve in his profession as pharmacist at Wall Drug. He was always pleasant and kind to my family, fulfilling our prescriptions and offering help with a friendly word and smile. I loved going to the "drug store" as a kid, with my parents, because it was special- such a lovely store from a bygone era- and Mr. Greve was who made it so. My condolences to his family, friends, and all who will miss him.
