I'm so sorry to hear about Don's passing. He was a good friend of my parents (Tom & Bernie McKevett). I just found out about it this morning so I apologize that I could not attend the funeral. Don & Lou both helped my parents in their last few months so us kids really appreciated it. Good luck Lou! My condolences to Lou and your family.Now Don is with our Lord.
