Met Don when he took over the Prudential Route from Mr, Al Beard. Don became my parents agent and later mine. Don was always friendly and always stopped to talk to you wherever you were. Sympathy and prayers to the family.

To the Workman's, sorry for your loss. I still remember Don driving Dave & I to the ball games and the golf course in his station wagon when we were kids.

so many memories I cannot list. as the kids say my BFF, and I will miss all the good times we had including the family trips together, poker games on Fridays, many many good golf games and the great friendship for over 40 years, and of course the many conferences we had together with Prudential. You and Joan will always be in our hearts. Love you and your wonderful family. Harold Eilts
