Judy, I was sorry to hear about your husband Don. Thinking of you, Cathy B. (book club)

I was so sorry to learn of Don's passing. I had the pleasure of meeting him and getting to know him several years ago. I worked at Great Lakes Bank and he was a customer. I left the bank in early December knowing that he was sick, but believing that he would recover. It was always a pleasure to see him. Try to take comfort knowing that Don made a positive contribution to the world.

Judy, Becky, Jeff, and family- Words cannot express how heartbroken we are. We wish we could be with you today. Duck was such a good man and such a good friend. Through all the years we have known each other and through all the adventures we shared, we cannot think of one moment that was not filled with laughter and good times. Thank you, Duck, for being you and adding so much to our lives.
