I remember him calling me "Pip" as a child. Garvin & Lidster was in our neighborhood on 7th St. growing up. All of my friends would ride our bikes down there. We would buy pop & chips from the vending machines. On occasion they would work on my mom's 69' Chevy Impala. Don was a very kind man. Sorry for your loss.
