Uncle Don was the sweetest Uncle...
My siblings and I visited Wisconsin, every Year,as children. We always looked forward to his energy, and fun sense of humor. My cousins and I would
Sleepover at my grandma & grandpa Normans house.
And Uncle Don would dance and goof around. He always put a smile on our faces. We have such great memories of him. Love, Karen Bunch Hoon
