Dear Gail and Family, and Neil

My heart was flooded with memories when I read of Don's passing. I though about your youth, your wedding and many other memories.

We keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
My Love to all of you.

Dear Gail and family,

I recently learned about Don's passing from Tom Jones at an Ocean Spray reunion. I was so sorry to hear this news. Working with Don was always fun and productive - I have many fond memories with Don at Graceland, Lakeville, IFT shows, Food Ex.... Thinking of you and sending my deepest sympathy.

Don and Gail were our Kellogg Farmer friends. Don, ever the gentleman, had an easy smile and a gentle spirit. He loved Michigan State and served it well!! My husband and I were fortunate to know Don and Gail. I pray for Gail and her family as they go through the sadness of Don's passing. A rare man of character and quality!

Dear Gail and family,

Praying for peace and strength in the days to come.
