Not sure what to say?

I just received the news........my very deepest sympathy to all of you for your tremendous loss.  Don always had a smile on his face and made working for "The Harrison's" and Thomasville Home Furnishings one of my best experiences.  He always made things better!

As one of Don's first nurses, I knew he was special. The dedication and love shown by his family was very touching to my heart and proved to show what a great father he must have been. His beautiful eyes and smile could light up the room. We spent many days together shedding tears during a sad movie,watching his favorite sport of golf or the laughs we had while reading a gossip magazine. I truly enjoyed every minute I spent with this wonderful man. I will miss him dearly. My thoughts and...

Don will be truly missed. I have all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

We certainly enjoyed knowing Don. He will be greatly missed.

My thoughts and prayers to Debby,Jimmy and Wendy and their families. I have many fond memories of Don. Debby and I swam together and spent countless days and nights at her home with her dad and his brilliant smile and infectious personality. I am saddened to hear of your great loss and will be thinking of you all in the coming days.

He always had a smile,that could make your day
Even when things were bad he could take it away
I"ll never forget when we worked so close
on service issues that nagged us the most
He just had that nack to turn it around
with those magical powers he always found
I will miss him for ever and ever and I can assure you this our ties will never sever

May the peace that comes from the memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead. Don and his smile will remain in our hearts forever.

Others have commented on Don's smile. That distinctive smile reflected Don's zest for life and his appreciation of family and friends. The last time I had the pleasure of seeing Don was in January 2006 when he traveled to Tallahassee to be with his daughter Debby and his newborn grandson Hank. His smile was especially broad that day as he beamed with pride and affection on that joyous occasion. I consider myself fortunate to have known Don. His great personality, and that smile that in a...
