The Victorsons & Millazos (in-laws) were great friends. Don with son John installed a very cool mailbox on a cement pedestal @ our new (25 yrs ago) home. Great wedding present!

Worked with Don at AMS years ago. He was instrumental in my deciding on a construction career. The projects he worked on around Illinois could fill a history book! I always enjoyed seeing him and he gave me a lot of good advice over the years. On to the next big project my friend.

What a wonderful legacy he leaves behind. Don was beloved by his family especially his grandson Danny and great-grandchildren. He was always so kind to me and I know he will be deeply missed by his children.
Much love to the family at this time of loss,
