Donald and Grace were our neighbors and good friends for over 40 years. They were exactly what one would want as neighbors, friendly and easy to talk to. They loved people and would do anything to help you if you needed it. Don loved creating things of beauty with stained glass and had a house filled with pieces he made. Don loved to play bridge and was very good at it. We played bridge together in a men's bridge club for many years. We will miss his ready smile.
God speed my friend.
