Don has been like a substitute father to me for over 10 years. He treated me and both my dog and cat like his own family. Whether caring for my pets while I was traveling or picking me up from the hospital after surgery, I can barely imagine life without his steadfast friendship and generosity. He came to know my own family through shared Christmas dinners and helping my mother as helped me following surgery. I told him many times that I wanted to reciprocate his kindness. But, as the end grew near, there was too little time to fulfill that promise. I deeply regret that he wouldn’t let me do more as he struggled these last few months. My heart goes out to all of you as family members, and I share your sadness at Don’s life being cut short. I will miss him so very much.

Donny was always so good to us kids when they all came out to Orange Springs. We always enjoyed their visits, they always seemed to have so much fun! We are thinking of y'all. Love, Kathie
