Don, you are a great friend, and just a super person. I wish we could've gotten together more often, and done more shooting. I remember when you came out to my lot in Dresden, and we spent the whole day, shooting every bit of ammo that we had. You were the first person to introduce me to muzzle loader rifles, and let me shoot yours. I'll miss the posts that you shared with me on Facebook. Always something interesting. I'm sad to see you go, my friend. But, I know that you're in a new body, with no pain or problems now. May the Lord bless you, and enjoy your company. It has been a pleasure, and an honor, to consider you as my friend.
