It was such an honor to get to know him. Our conversations would always end with me saying "try and behave yourself today" and he would always say "yeah but there's no future in it" he will be truly missed!!!!

I will miss my friend, Don, at The Cedars. Many "talks" and "laughs" to remember.
God Bless you Don!
