We know "DD" at Sundown Saloon, and still miss him today. His laughter was contagious, his witty comments kept us on our toes, and his affection was genuine. We miss you, dear friend. Rest in Peace, "DD". Love always, Dick and Dannie

"DD" as he was known had helped so many people. He worked with me at Domino's Pizza, and he provided me with assistance to help the company build their business. Donald and Betty. Thank you for your gifts of time well spent at Wilson's meat raffles with my husband George and I, Frank, and "Susie" and Wayne Niebuhr. We must not forget Vicki, either.
