A friend, formerly of Mooresville sent me Don's obit. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. My husband and I recently attended our 60th HS reunion and Don was the only one missing of the 31 who were to attend.
I am a former classmate and remember how fine a person Don was. Shocked by his demise. I remember his beautiful voice and believe he attended the State Chorus as did I.

My utmost sympathy to his family.
