We just returned from a week out of town, and were so sad to read that Don had passed away. We were customers for more than 30 years, but more than that we were good friends. Our heartfelt condolences. - Sandy & Bob Starbuck, Lake Winnebago, MO

I knew Don through Monty's Safety Lane. I was so sadden to hear of his illness and eventually his passing. Even though I only knew him casually I knew he was one of the nicest, and most honest people I've met. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Rejoice in the love you shared.
