Here at Riverside's Gerlach Center for Senior Health,we knew him as Don, not dad or grandpa.... but we loved him, too! Our lives were so enriched by the visits Don made to our center, through his wonderful stories and way with people, and just by his presence. He was an amazing man who continues to live on in spirit. Our sympathies as you mourn considerable loss but celebrate a well-lived life!
