So sorry to hear of Don's passing.
Knew him for most of my life but left area in the early 70's. Always made it a point to stop by the store to see Don whenever I was in area.

Ms. Judy and Family,
Thinking of you during this time. I fondly remember our Austin Peay days and how Don was so helpful to me in my early years at Austin Peay. Don was so jovial, happy and always made you feel right at home. The Cherry's have always brought a smile to my face. I will always cherish our first meeting at Cypress Gardens in Winter Haven, FLorida. Again, The Delk's are so honored and privedged to have enjoyed Don. Love to All- Dean Delk
