Don was a good neighbor. Always knew I could count on him to help if I needed anything especially with my lawn mower!!
He was always busy working outside and always took the time to talk. He will be sorely missed.
RIP Don

Yesterday
It was with sadness that I learned of Don´s passing. Although, Don was older than me. He was part of the Cloe Crew that I have many fond memories of during my childhood years. My heart goes out to Barb at this incredibly hard time. We all had such wonderful times from swimming at the Cloe bridge to maybe corning a few cars during Halloween. The older guys would always let us hang out with them & they would always watch out for us. Plan where we were to run & hide if a car stopped after maybe tossing some corn. I used to tease Buckwheat that he didn´t have to run. He could just put his hands out & pretend he was a tree with all that fuzzy hair of his. Great memories growing up in Cloe. May God provide peace for all who knew & loved him. I´m sure he would want us all to celebrate his life with fond memories.
