Don was a dear friend of my family. He was my mother´s cousin and my father´s best friend. I am grateful I was able to visit with Don at the end of July. He shared precious memories of my parents. The memories and pictures he shared of the Moonlight Serenade band were my favorite. My deepest condolences to Mary and his family. Sue & Rod Sudbeck
