So sorry to hear of your dad. Uncle Don was soft spoken, and had a great smile. I also remember your mom telling us about some of his time as a captain on the Great Lakes. I realize, only now as an adult; how rare, exciting, and dangerous that was. Again, our sympathy!

Uncle Red was always about family. He was a great Santa for our kids, a great brother to my father, and an example of how to live a full life! He will be missed.
