Connie and kids,
I am so sorry for your loss. Don was genuinely one of the good guys and the world is a better place because he was in it. He was always so good to his family and his Uncle Mike loved him like a son. Mom and Dad both looked forward to digging potatoes every year; I think it was just for another chance to spend time with you all. One of my earliest memories of Don was when he drove snowplow. Dad would laugh and say he knew Don had been through because he took out our mailbox every time. Hold on to your decades of memories and know you'll see him again one day. Love you all..
