My family and I were saddened to read of Don's passing. He was such a nice person. He would do anything he could to help you. We sure will miss him. We own the place next to Arts place and.a place in Catawba. We met when my young son wanted to spend the night with Don's kids at their Moms place.

Don, you will be missed by many. You were such a wonderful man. Your sense of humor was amazing as well as your epic practical jokes. Not to mention the best steak cooker I've ever met. So mellow and easy going. You didn't even yell at me when I got you and Denise massively lost in Michigan. I just know you're in heaven drinking a cold one and wearing your bibs. Please have a cold one ready for me. Love you. Goodnight dear friend.
