I remember always loving it when Don came to call on My husband and I! He was always so cheerful and funny. My husband still drinks out of the "Coffee Hound " mug he brought to him years ago. Our thoughts and prayers to the family. He was a wonderful man.

So sorry to hear of Don's passing. Don was a real treat in the Pharmacy sector - friendly and well received and liked by all. It is even more shocking since Don was just a few weeks ago comforting my mother after the loss of my father in late March. Well Don, I know you and Dad can join up and ride the same tour bus in Heaven.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Don always called me when the old "guys" got togather., my husband was a pharmacist for over 40 yrs. downtown.John died on March29th and I talked to Don shortly thereafter and had a very nice card from him. I am truly shocked and saddened for your loss. Jean Clopton
