Every word said of Don at his celebration was true. I have never met a man who Christ shone through every day, every minute. I have always admired Don and you too Bea. A little story, when Don was peddling meat in Bay View, if Larry and brother were walking, he would always pick them out and usually had bananas with him and would give them one. My grandmother, Beatrice always used to say what a nice man he was. god bless you Bea, Tanya, Donna, Bev, Wesley and families.
