So sorry to now just be hearing of Don's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. Don was such a positive, happy, caring man. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed our conversations when I visited Philpot. So much so that I continued to reach out to Don even after his retirement. So sad I lost a real buddy. You are in my thoughts and prayers--God Bless You All

I am so sorry to hear of Don's passing. He was a good friend to Charles and myself. We met Don in 1978 and over the years we bought several cars from him. The last time I saw Don was at the Healthpark after his having heart transplant. He was good about working out and we talked about how life had changed for I had stints put into my heart and had lost Charles. He always had a smile and a kind word. Prayers for your family and I pray God wraps his arms around you to help you through this time. Dorothy Wilson

So sorry for your loss, Don gave me an opportunity to join his staff at Don Moore Chevy in 1985, he saw something in me that I didn't at the time, I learned the business thru him, he was always so kind to me, so I was able to provide for my family for about 32 years because he gave me the opportunity. He will be missed and he and the family are in our prayers, may he Rest In Peace.

I'm so sorry for the family's loss, Don was a great guy and fellow business man, car dealer on 54. I would send Don and Peggy buyers as they would me, we helped each other and I so appreciate it, they were a part of my success for years, I remember Don coming into my office the day he decided to retire, he was bringing me all of his buyers forms that he wasn't gonna need anymore, like I said great guy, glad to say he was my friend, RIP Don, you will be missed.
