What a man... I love you grandpa and know I will see you again soon! You always showed great strength, even to the end. You didn't pick the easy road, but you picked the right road. You saw beyond a temporary fix and focused on going home to be with our Savior. I admire you and couldn't have asked for a better grandpa. You are always very close to my heart, and I miss you so much. With all my heart...Jodi

Grandpa Dugan (as I've always referred to him) was such a beautiful soul. He was my dad's good friend and now they're together. He will be greatly missed by many. All my love to his family.

Our family mourns with you and rejoices with you. We will sorely miss Don but know that what the Bible says is true: "When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: 'Death has been swallowed up in victory.'" We love you and will keep you close in our prayers.

I will miss Don's great humor. He was always in a good mood and we loved kidding each other! Most of all I'll miss our Friday night Pizza Parties, waving at him and throwing kisses when I drove by.
