Not sure what to say?

Don and I attended the same high school in Hardee County. When I got out of the Air Force, and began attending the UofF, Don had graduated high school and was also attending the UofF. in 1963,. Since we lived in the same town, but I didn't have a car, Don once gave me a lift to Gainesville in his green and white Nash Metropolitan. I'll never forget cruising up the highway at 70 mph and sweating bullets because that car was tiny compared to other cars. Years later, after I had graduated...

I feel so badly that I didn't know of Don's passing in 2018. I only learned of his death when trying to look him up after hearing about Robert Grubbs passing on 12-19-2021. Don and I were roommates during my senior year at the University of Florida living together with Robert Grubbs in an off-campus apartment. Regrettably, I lost track of Don after entering the U.S. Navy during Vietnam War era and moving to Texas 40 years ago. He was a wonderful person. I shall always remember him.
