I have great memories with Don being my father-in-law. Rod his son and I use to go fishing every year to Minnesota it was a great time. It was always a contest to see if the girls would do better or the guys. Yes, of course the ladies came in first...Don you will be missed and will always be loved by all of us. Hope you and Uncle Bob found a great fishing hole up there.

Great Uncle Donnie always had such a big smile on his face and he always seemed to be so happy whenever I was around him. He will be missed by many!

Working with Don as his bread supplier taught me many valuable lessons not all about the retail industry. He will surly be missed buy many, but we can find some comfort knowing that where he is; the fishing is always good.

I have many great memories of Don. I spent so much time over at his house with Amy. I went along with them on family vacations to Minnesota for many years. He would take me and Amy fishing and mushrooming. I loved spending time over at their house. I will miss Don greatly and always have a special place for him in my heart. I love you guys!
