You know friends remain in our hearts forever and Jack Benny is one such friend - hours and hours of sharing everything and nothing at the sane time. I loved watching him practice - the power of the pause and making a living helping people. From one of our teachers, Michael Grinder, Uncle Donny helped others connect. And he still does!

Fond memories persist remembering Uncle Don's stint with us at KKSN radio. He gave "Morning Man" on the airwaves that radio term special meaning. Best ahead Uncle Don! Bill Failing Former KKSN owner

We often think of Don and the joy he shared. We feel so honored to have Don as our friend! Sharing laughter and fun with him and Gwen was a gift. Don's Light will continue to shine. Look at that face!

Uncle Don has and will be in my life forever. During this time of Covid, traveling less I missed visiting Oregon and seeing Don. We shared filming time as we developed the power of the pause modeling "Jack Benny!" All the best to Gwen and family. "Remember to love yourself and pass it on."
