I am so sorry for your loss. Even though I never met Don, I felt like I knew him forever. I always looked forward to playing pinochle with him every night on Pogo. He had such a great sense of humor. The tears would run down my cheeks from laughing so hard. I'm sure he will be missed by all. May he rest in peace. My prayers are with all his friends and family during this difficult time.

So sorry to hear of Don's passing. Didn't know him well but have very fond memories, seeing him at garage sales having home made soup with him. Will miss seeing him at garage sales.
