To my cousins and family:
I have many fond memories of Aunt Betty and Uncle Don. Always enjoyed spending time with them and having fun with my cousins. As a young person, I always looked forward to seeing everyone at the family events. Sorry I missed the funeral and please accept my sorrow for the loss of Uncle Don. As I grew older, I learned that Uncle Don was A very special man. His military history and how he conducted himself as man thereafter provided guidance and support for others. I can still remember his smile, laugh, and some of the interesting stories. May God bless him and the family. Michael DeShane
