Uncle Delmer was telling me about a time when dad was younger the had had it was hog killing time, Dad and Uncle David were playing with the intestins of the Hog running and running around the house dragging the innards ground the house. GREAT Grandpa Moore (dad's Grandpa Bud Henry Moore ) told them to stop someone would step on the innards that it would go all over the place and on them it would stink. We'll they took a few more rounds Uncle David stepped on it by accident it went all over Dad, stunk to high heaven got ob Dad's face In his ear. Dad was gagging, Grandpa Bud Henry was laughing so hard he was crying. Dad was begging Grandpa Bud to get it out of his ear off his eyes he couldn't see. Grandpa Bud was finally able to get it off and out of his ear.

Don always had a big smile and hug ready for me at the reunions. I always enjoyed visiting with him and so did my Dad. He was a good man with such a sweet disposition, and you could tell he genuinely cared about people and loved his family so. Don & Mary always traveled the furthest to come see their family in Oklahoma. I'm really going to miss seeing his smiling face and bubbly personality.
Much love, hugs & prayers for you, Mary, and the rest of the family. May the Lord bring you peace and comfort in the days to follow.

Don, my eldest brother whom loved all. A loving husband, dad, brother, friend, child of God. Don loved reunions with all of his family present and saddened if someone was not able to make it. Don was loved by all and I for one will miss him dearly.
