Last night, I found out about Don's passing! Don and I had been close friends ever since the Rotary Convention that was held in Ruidoso around 20 years ago. It was our habit to touch base with each other on Thursdays. This wasn't happening! I became concerned after trying to contact Don several times with no luck. I did not know of any of Don;s friends in Ruidoso and I had no way to find out about him........... Don had asked me to help him in June. He wanted to go to Vegas and needed help getting around once he got there. I told him that I would be more than happy to go with him and help. When I didn't hear from Don in June, I figured plans had changed. Now I know why. I have lost a truly good friend. I will miss Don's frequent trips to El Paso. It was always good to see him & Tiffany. I would keep Tiffany for Don while he was on his numerous trips all over the world. Don will be greatly missed. God bless Don, and God bless Don's family
