Dear Aunt Susie,
We are so sorry to hear of Don's passing. He was a wonderful man. He had a lot of experience and wisdom he loved sharing. Gary always enjoyed talking and talking about their common passions. We always enjoyed coming to your home for Thanksgivings & Mom's for your oustanding fish fry's... what great fish & cooks! He will truly be missed. Let us know if we can help in any way. Love & Hugs, Gary & Karen Bocock

Donna, i am so sorry to hear of Don's passing, have not seen him in years but remember him well. May God help you through these trying times. Betty Garverick

I stayed with Donald during the summers and helped he, his father, grandfather and uncle work the farm. During this time, I learned to look up to him as my mentor. He was very meticulous in every aspect of his life; accepting nothing less than perfection. All the while, he maintained a kind and gentle nature.
Of my many fond memories, I will share just one. Many times, as I was looking through my gun scope, I would watch as Donald pulled the trigger of his high-powered rifle and a groundhog, several hundred yards away, would become a pile of fur! He was deadly with his shooting accuracy.
My wife and I want to thank Susan for bringing a special joy to Donald's life, a joy that was not present before. I will be forever grateful for his nurturing during my young life. God Bless! Bill & Crystal Cox
