Not sure what to say?

It is with a heavy heart that I say my farewells to my brother, Don. He often referred to me as his "Little Sister". I will miss that, as well as visiting him in Charleston. Bill and I have so many happy memories of those visits, going back to the 80's when our Mother had a chance to go with us. Oh, how he loved having her there!!! You worked hard, Don!!!! May you now cast your nets amongst the best of fishermen !

Rest in peace. Late brother Joe enjoyed his time with you a few years ago.

From fishing brothers memories to Captain Don's, you toiled and left a legacy to be proud of. With love and prayers, may you now rest in peace.

One of God’s great gifts is our siblings. We learn so much from each other. For many reasons I loved and respected my brother Don. He charted his own course. Rest In Peace Don.

Worked hard for others and asked nothing for yourself. I miss your voice but love the memories. Until we meet again.

We are so sorry to hear of Don´s passing. He was a nice guy and he will be missed. Rest In Peace my friend

Some may call him 'Captain Don'. I am proud to call him My Brother. You've worked so hard; now it's time to rest. I will miss you dearly. Love, Joanne

June our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time.

We sat in "his" den and discussed many topics from accounting to fishing. He spoke proudly of each of you, and I know that he worked hard and long hours to take care of his family. He graciously welcomed me and told me to come anytime. It will not be the same when I go the next time. My prayers to the...
