It was our pleasure to have known Don for many years. Whenever we went to a car show or on a rod run you could count on seeing Don in his cherished car. He always had a smile and would make you laugh. He loved life and life loved him. The hot rod culture has lost one of the best. R.I.P.Don.

As a fellow Pacific Bell employee, I met Don 54 years ago. Down thru the years we would occasionally meet up at car shows and since retirement, at the annual retirement breakfast. An all around great guy and i'll miss him!
