To Don's family,

I just heard the sad news about Don. I worked with Don, when he was President of the Kansas City CCIM board.He was a top notch leader of our organization. I aspired to follow in his footsteps to become President of the chapter. He was always a gentlemen and a first class person. He will be missed by all his fellow commercial REALTORS.

My family the "Boyers" lived next door to your family on Rowland in KCK in the early 60's. The kids were young and the times were turbulant. My dad,Bob Boyer, was proud to be a Realtor as was Don. I have very fond memories of your family, played with the kids most every day. I must say I feel your family were ground breakers and admire the entire Sewing family. I have also lost a great man in my family(dad) and know the sorrow the family feels at this time. Please accept my deepest simpathy for your loss.
