So sorry for your loss. I met Don 2-3 times while he was at Cedarhurst in Woodstock. My brother-in-law is there and pointed him out. I actually lived next door to his dad, George, in Woodstock while growing up. We shared some memories and I hoped I was able to give him a smile or two. I live in Ohio so I only make it back to visit 3-4 times a year. I am so glad to see he has such a large loving family. He will be missed.

I only met Don once, but that single meeting showed me so much about the man he was. I watched the unmistakable love between a father and daughter - the way his eyes lit up every time Jill walked into the room, and the way they playfully teased each other. Jill tried to keep his sweet treats to a minimum, while Don found creative ways to sneak them in.
I saw Jill gently help him as we shopped, setting things up in his home with such care and devotion. And I saw how deeply Don appreciated her. They shared a genuine, effortless bond - always wanting to make things better for each other.
I feel truly honored to have witnessed that kind of love, even just once. It´s something I will never forget.
