Don was a great guy. I can remember him back as far as the old Tee ball days as he was the umpire telling me I struck out again. Getting older I now realize how much he impacted several kids lives in the community. I'm sorry to hear about his passing.

Don was a great and funny person. I always shopped and Kings. Always..ask is Don working today. Don..would hear my voice. He knew my two sons and he understood my pain..in losing a son at 37 yrs.
I missed Kings and not seeing a nice and funny guy..in Don.
My prayers and blessings to you and your loved ones.
