Dear Voorhees Families,
We own some of Don's paintings and they have brought us so much enjoyment over the years. We always enjoyed his December gatherings and our conversations about possibly being related. He was a great artist and person. May he rest in peace.
We are so sorry to learn of his passing.
Our deepest sympathy to all.

Your paintings that we own have brought us such happiness. We will always treasure them. Dear Sir, you and your talent will be greatly missed. Our deepest sympathy to your family.
