I received this reminder from Legacy. I cant believe Don has been gone 10 years. I remember all the wonderful times we had when our families would be together. I think of him often and of you, Martha, as well.
Hope you are doing well.

I have known Don and Martha and the boys for the past 40 years, although haven't been in contact with them the past few years. Don was my physician until he retired, and we were neighbors for many years. A wonderful man and he will be missed. You just couldn't find a nicer person than Don.

I attended West Aurora High School With Don, He was an outstanding Athlete and just an all-around nice guy.We always knew that he would go far and be something special and by his obituary I see that was the case.
My heartfelt condolences to his wife and Family.May he rest in Peace.
