Don,Josie my sincere condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. I was friends with your dad sometime ago and often wondered if he still lived in the Douglas area. Often times I would drive by the house and thought to stop to inquire whether or not he still lived there. I now regret that I didn't. I know that I don't have to tell you, but your dad was a class act and glad that I had the opportunity in life to know him.
