Don was one of my first new friends I met when I went to Broadalbin Central. We had many memories through the years. One memory is a week after Barb and I got married - Don and Wanda were married a week later,
and we all met at Marineland, Florida. We have enjoyed knowing Don and his family. I salute you Don - thank you for being my friend.
