I was sorry to hear from my mother, Gloria Wilson, that Don had passed away. I knew him years ago when I'd see him at church, always smiling and friendly. I want Lori and Elise to know that they, along with the entire Kettering family, are in my thoughts and prayers as they mourn the loss of a man who was very dear to them and to many others.
