Dear Sharon and Family,
Don and I graduated the same year. I was on the reunion committee a couple of years with Don and others. He was truly a kind and caring person who always made me feel welcome.
Prayers are being said for you and the family for comfort at this difficult time.
Sincerely,

Met Don in Jaycees. We moved to Fairfield where I became President at the same time Don was President in Vallejo. He was always available to assist with great new ideas.
Sharon, Patty and I are thinking of you and hope to see you again soon.

Dearest Sharon, Wendy and Family,
I was deeply saddened to hear about Don's passing. He was the kindest and most sincere man I have ever known. I worked with him at Bill Lang for 8 years and he always put a smile on my face. He had to be an angel on earth with how he influenced and taught by example on how to be a great family man and friend. I will still continue to think of him with a smile. Thank you Sharon for sharing Don and making the world a better place because he was here...
