Oh my. So sad to learn of Don´s passing. Went to East Rome with him! One of the nicest guys at school. Always happy. Since being back in Rome I have hated hearing of friends we´ve lost. Go have a happy reunion with the other faithful Glads!!!

Don washed windows for us for years-and we had a lot of windows on 3 floors! He was always upbeat and a hard worker. My late husband(Dr. Bob) and I trusted him and enjoyed knowing him. He will be missed,

Don & I met in the 10th grade at East Rome High School. I didn’t see him again until I moved back home in 1987. He had that same big smile & warm heart. He was a sweet sole. My condolences to his family.

This broke my heart to find out from a mutual friend that Don had passed away. She and I had known Don since first grade at Northside Elementary. And we all went to school together until we graduated from East Rome High in 1972. Don and Ricky Gresham lived down the street from me, were best friends for many years, and each was hilarious to be around. My prayers are with each of Don´s family members. May our Lord God wrap each of you with Loving, Healing Arms. I am so very sorry for your loss.
