Don and I played sports together at Kellogg. After High School we became room mates for two years. Don was a "happy go lucky" type of guy and always had a smile. He was a good friend and will be missed by many. Gary Tash

Having known Donald since second grade at Kellogg grade school I could tell so many stories about our times together.

I really enjoyed our Wednesday after work golf at Eastmoreland Golf course back in the early 90's. Don was always a kind soul and struggled with some health issues as the years went along. He always kept his good natured spirit about him,...
