Don was my dad. He left us to soon! It's not the same without him. He was the best person in the world not to mention the funniest. He taught me to fix cars and grow gardens. He let me come home whenever i needed. I miss him so much and would do anything if i could see him one last time. I know he is in a better place and is keeping watch over me. He will always be in my heart and i will carry on his dreams of having his home takin care of. He was the hardest worker. I watched him get weaker and weaker and still he pushed hiself to go to work so he could pay for what he dreamed of. I will never forget him. Love you Daddy Don.

Don was not only a great person, but he was a great father well. I remember the fun times that we had and how i hated to get u p in the mornings to go to school and don would sing its a happy day or when we would be driving along and we would ask him were we were going and he would say down that long old highway. He taught me to fish and most of all He was the only dad that was around to raise me and he didnt haft to be, but no matter how bad i was or what events were taken place he was there and I love him with all my heart.He was my only dad!
