Not sure what to say?

We were Air Force Navigator Training classmates in the 60s.
We continued our friendship through the decades and across the time zones.
Fondest memories.
Don, old Friend and wingman, Fair winds; following seas.

Remember the many good and wonderful times you had together. Raising your family,meeting new friends and remembering old friends.

JEANNE & FAMILY,
WE WERE SORRY TO HEAR OF DON'S PASSING. AS A GRADE SCHOOL KID, I REMEMBER GOING TO LARAMIE & WATCHING HIM WORK 1 OF THOSE LITTLE PLASTIC NUMBER SCRAMBLERS. WHERE YOU HAD TO GET THE NUMBERS IN ORDER. HE'D PUT HAIR OIL IN IT TO MAKE THE PLASTIC SLIDE EASIER. TIME & DISTANCE HAD SEPARATED US FOR MANY YEARS. IT WAS GOOD TO GET RECONNECTED IN RECENT YEARS.

Jeanne and Family,
I will miss Don's witty comments on current events!
Don always had something nice to say about "One of his many girls".
I know you will really miss a husband, grandpa, and great grandpa!
