Don was a wonderful neighbor. We will miss seeing him go out to the mailbox or coming to the front door with fresh veggies during the summer. For many years, he would take pictures of our house at Christmas and give them to us as a gift. We always looked out for one another. He will certainly be missed.

Mr. Coffman was a great person. I knew him as being one of my Dad's best friends. They played a lot of golf and cards together over the years. I sold him a couple of vehicles when I was selling cars. I know they are in heaven together. They passed away on the same day Dec. 2, 2022 fifteen minutes apart. Love and miss you both.
