Not sure what to say?

Dear Judy and family, I am so sorry -- I just heard about Don's passing. He was an amazing businessman and I loved being able to work with him while he was here in SW Florida. I will never forget his indefatigable spirit and his passion. He will be fondly remembered. Carol Wilsey, Exceptional Properties

My condolences to the Kotula family.
I have worked for NTE for 8 years. Been in retail for 37 years. Like Don, I started at Wards. I'm grateful to Don for starting a company that still embraces a culture that listens to the customer and treats a customer in a special way. The success of NTE is testament to how he lived that culture.
What an amazing story and an amazing man. I feel very fortunate to be part of what he established.

My cousin Don alway looked out for family. If my mother ever needed anything, Don was there to help. He helped me to attain my Registered Nursing degree. Many fond memories that will last forever. May God greet you with open arms. Rick
