We had as teenagers and into our 20's we had marvelous and fun times at Lake Ariel swimming and sailing. We both had canvis kayaks that leaked all the time. One of us would sail the boat and one of us would bail the water out. It is amazing we did not sink to the bottom of the lake. Then we played basketball every evening in his back yard until it was to dark. Saturday's we played golf in Wayne Cty. and we tried to teach each other the game. It was the blind leading the blind. He was a marvelous guy to know and enjoy.

Don was one of , if not my favorite customer to visit. He was always pleasant , witty and engaging. My memories of Don will always be cherished and carried with me. Don was and always will be one of a kind and I know he is practicing his darts in heaven for a rematch.

Donald was one of my roommates in our fraternity at Lehigh. He was the only non- engineer in the room. He was a great person, easy to get along, and I'm sure he will be missed.
