Very sorry to hear of Don passing. My family grew up at Midway Grill (new and old one)It was always a treat to eat there. Community will certainly be different. Thoughts are with your family. God Bless!

Peggy, and family, I send you my love and prayers. I loved Don from when I taught him through the last hamburger I bought for my grandchildren who thought going to "Don's" for lunch was as great as it gets. Love to you all. Katheryn Lewis
