I just read of Dons passing. What a fine gentleman he was. I received a phone call from him one day a few years ago to my surprise. He said he just wanted to say hello again as it had been maybe 30 years since we had seen each other. I told him I was pleased to be his friend. Rest in peace Don, see you when I get there.

Don was an avid fan of the Wisconsin Badgers. I will forever remember his Wisconsin Badger hat and Wisconsin Badger light jacket that he wore every day. Don was a delight to "care-for" and a wonderful conversationalist.

Love and peace in the Lord's presence,
Debby David
