Beth and Ruth,

So sorry to hear about your father and husband, but I'm glad he's moved on to a better place where he's no longer suffering. And I know he will live on in his family who loved him very much

My dad was a wondeful wonderful man..He was a great husband, father and grandfather..I will always miss him and look forward to seeing him again in Heaven...I love you so much dad and am honored to be your son. I love you, Mike

To the West Family, from a past student, sportsman and long time friend of Don. Coach Don was an assistant coach and SMN during my SMN tenure in the period of 1964-67, and taught us how to "aim high in steering" and the sound principles of 10/2 on the wheel. Both timeless principles never forgotten, whether driving or dealing with what comes to you as you navigate through life. My reflection is this, Don was "absolutely genuine" and ever thoughtful as to what he might do to help others. His is remembered and greatly appreciated. Our sincerest sympathies and condolences...we celebrate his life. Thank you, Coach.

Ruth, My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. You will be comforted by Gods love and all your friends. Blessings

Ruth Ann and family,

Our prayers and sympathy are with you and we will continue to pray that God will comfort you. We know that Don is with the Lord and no more pain and suffering. God is our refuge.

Ruth Ann and family. Please know that others care and are praying for you. We know that Don is with the Lord and no more pain and suffering. Our love to you.

I remember Mr. West's influence as a student at SMN in the 60's. Thank God for his life and faithfulness. God bless his loved ones and family at this time...

Don was a very special man. He always had a way to spice up life with his funny comments. He will be greatly missed. We are praying God, who understands our deepest needs, will wrap you in his loving arms and comfort you with his healing touch.

Loving you,

We are very sorry to hear of Don's death, but are blessed to have known him. Ruth, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Ruth, our loving thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God's loving grace and hope comfort you now.

I am sorry to the West family for your loss of a great man. Mr West was my drivers ed teacher in 1969. What he taught us has stayed with me and kept me safer on the road. I still remember some of the exact things he said. His class was always interesting and he was a fun caring guy. He will never be forgotten. Bob Cunningham, Sarasota, Fl

Mr. West was my drivers ed teacher back in 1964, he was a wonderful man and a great teacher.

My deepest condolences to you, West family in the loss of Don. I hold many, many happy memories of him and your family whom I was so close to in high school and thereafter. Our thoughts are with you.

Tim Rinner and Family, Portland, Oregon
