Sorry that I did know Donald.
However in my youth many times I went with
My father, Chuck Bell, to buy auto parts from his father who had an auto parts store on highway 105W,near downtown Conroe.
As I recall his dad smoked cigars.

I was so shocked to learn of Don's passing. I met Don back when I was in High School, working at Max Mahaffey Ford in the Body Shop around 1980. I would walk over to Freds Auto Parts and cut up with Don and his dad. After graduation, I served 20 years in the Air Force before returning back to Conroe. On Tuesday June 14th I stopped in O-Reillys with my youngest son and saw Don, I always gave him a hard time, I asked, him if he was leaving work early again, to which he replied, of course. My son asked who he was, so I told him the story of how we met and how long I had known Don. Proverbs 27:1 Do not boast about tomorrow,
For you do not know what a day may bring forth. I am so glad I took the time to say hi to Don, I would have never dreamed it would be the last time I saw him. I will be praying for the family in your time of grief.

I met Donald in 1981 when I started dating Bucky and then when we moved to College Station I spent more time with Donald since he lived in CS. I remember his smile and his laughter, always had that sweet smile on his face. May the Lord comfort you as only He can during this time of loss and grief. I'm so very sorry.
