Grew up in the same neighborhood as Don and his sons Charlie and Jake. Don was an intimidating presence and a no nonsense man, but he had a big heart and taught us neighborhood boys many lessons about life. He will be missed.

Don was a thoughtful, kind, selfless man who always walked the walk. He was a master chef of all things goose and a superb story teller. He was our friend and every goose call brings a smile. Jerry and Audrey Meyer
