So sorry for your loss. Papa Don was a good man and loving father as well as loving all who entered his heart. He didn't know a stranger and would do anything for anyone. I always had a good time going to Springer's for Christmas and seeing Santa..those where the good days. Lots of memories on Plum Creek and lots of good times. May he RIP and spread his wings for now he is home. With Love Dee,

To the whole Springer family: I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Don. He will surely be missed by many. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you Don and ALL of your family and friends.
When a person you love passes away
Look to the night sky on a clear day.
The star that to you, appears to be bright,
Will be your loved one,
Looking upon you during the night.
The lights of Heaven are what shines through
As your loved one watches...
