My sincerest sympathies go out to the entire Darst family. A large family I remember from the neighborhood, while attending Crestview Jr High School. I dated Don for a short time, (maybe Ron,you know how twins can be!). Great to hear that Don had a large family and alot of love. Stay strong, you all have each other.
