I would like to say it was a pleasure to know, Don. He was a very honest person and very fair with his work. Besides that I could always count on him for a laugh once in awhile when I went to pick up one of my vechicles. i though of him to be one of a kind. My family and I will miss him very much. God Bless

Jeannette & boys, I'm so sorry this happened to Don, he gave it a good fight. He was such a good husband and father.
Sally, I know how close you were to Don and nothing anyone can say can take away the pain of losing a child - no matter what age. I wish you peace.
Jimmy, Norma & girls - what can I say? Another hole in the family, my heart is breaking.
Wish I could be there to hug you all.
