To ALL of you who knew Don Lundy, it is with much sadness that we bid Don goodbye from this mortal world. Don was a man who wanted you to love Jesus first and to do what would honor our dear Lord and Saviour.
Don was blessed with such an artistic eye and hand with a bag of icing that literally created magic before your eyes. His attention to detail put him in a class above many others. I only hope that I can encourage and inspire others who enjoy and establish a bakery career the way Don did. He was a legend in his own right and now, he is with the angels, dining on angel food cake..haha
May he rest in peace. We will delight together as we meet with him again one day in the clouds.

My prayers are with you at this time of loss. I have been blessed by knowing and working with Don. He brightened everyday and phone call. Always a gentleman and professional, such a gifted man. He loved you all very much. He would share stories about his family often, so proud of you all. He would break out his wallet with pictures of the best looking grandbabies....no matter the age. He loved decorating and more so teaching others. He would get the whoop-didi-whoop fired up (mixer) and get into his "zone". I will always smile as I remember Don. Blessings dear friend on your homecoming. May God surround your family with love during this time.
