Uncle Don or " U D " as all us kids called you, you will be so badly missed, life WILL NOT be the same without you, the best Uncle in the world who would give you the shirt off his back and never question it, always there to help no matter what and full of so much love for everyone and a great sense of humor, GREAT BROTHER to my Dad Ron and a guy who I am PROUD to call my Uncle. I love you Uncle Don, your Nephew Jeff Berghuis and family.

I called my friend "Big Don", he was just a good guy with a big heart.
I'll miss him.
