Not sure what to say?

Mary Clare, I was so sorry to learn you missed saying good bye to your Dad by hours. A true & terrible tragedy! My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Love, Louise

My memory of Uncle Don is one of a kind, gentle, happy and even tempered man. He was calm within the chaos of his large boisterous family and working at a highly demanding job. I never heard a cross word about Don from anyone and he was not one to boast of his heroic actions nor about his accomplishment. My heart goes out to Don's wonderful grown children and his grandchildren and extended friends and family who will miss this great man. God Bless!

Memory...Spring Lake...Shirl, Graham, Bobby and Don, Tim and I decided to go to the race track...Not being knowledgeable about horses and having a ton of kids between us, I bet the daily double...First race: TOYBOX
Second race: PLAYROOM. Yep I won and we all went out to dinner on me...some of the fun family times as young parents.

Honestly Don told the absolute best jokes.

Missed seeing him for all of these years.

Mindy, I didn't know your dad but if he brought up such an amazing daughter he must have been pretty amazing himself. My heart goes out to you and your family and I am sending love and peace your way
