Don was the very best, he will be dearly missed by my entire family. Nobody was more positive, supportive or silly. We have great memories of camping with the Kimballs, having wild game nights of Pit and celebrating all the birthdays and special occasions throughout the years. Donny was always on call with apple slices, popcorn and toothbrushes at every sleepover. We will miss him, and cherish all the fun memories.

I am so sad to hear of Don's passing. So glad we met again at our last Olympus reunion last summer. We have known each other since our days at Libbie Edward Elementary school. I will always remember Don as a quiet, kind, and caring classmate. He also worked for my father who was the chef at Beau Brummell Restaurant. My father called him "Speedy" and always had kind things to say about Don. My heartfelt condolences to his family. I know Don will be truly missed. Until we meet again Don!!!
