Our prayers are with you at this time. I remember growing up and spending time at his house. He always joked and was fun to be around.

Rest in peace, Don. You are in the hands of God and free of sickness and pain. I will always remember what a great friend you were to me and my family. I will always cherish the fond memories of the past, the cracking of your jokes and the half smile you gave when you thought you pulled one over on us. May prayers comfort your loving wife, Helen and family. You will be missed by many.
