Don you while be truly missed. You inspired so many people, and I´m very grateful and thankful that I was part of those people. We shared a lot of good times and you were my biggest inspiration and mentor and I´m grateful always for that.

Don was a dedicated and hard working friend. He liked to kick butt when he had to but respected those who could stand up to him. He also loved to joke around and pay back those who got him first. Being an ex marine he would tell people if they were feeling froggy to punch him in the stomach as hard as they could, for that would be their one and only punch before they would go down. I will surely miss Don.
