I will never forget Don, he was a man of many hats, and a true professional. We had many conversations ranging from construction to automotive to aviation and on occasion good ole gossip about a certain individual. He was my best copilot and someone whom I looked up to. Don will be missed and I think of him often, I am very fortunate to have had the time to know him, one of our last conversations together he told me he has no regrets he’s lived a good life. Don keep the greasy side down pal....
