Don was one of a kind! I loved singing with him in the barbershop chorus and enjoyed his passion for his family as well as his sense of humor. He was a bright shining light in the Olean community and I know he will be missed by many.

Diane.... and family. I am so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine what you are going through right now. You haven't even had time to fully grieve your Mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Again, I am so sorry. May you find the strength to get through these hard times.

Mr. Derx was the best! I will always cherish the memories of spending summers on Cuba Lake, boating, water skiing, family, friends & a keg on tap always! He made everyone feel welcome. Thanks for the good times, I will never forget.
