Don was such a special friend to my husband, Doug, and he had a very special place in my heart as well. He was a kind, generous soul, and I will always remember his good nature and wonderful smile.

My deepest sympathy in the loss of Don, my thoughts are with you. I had been a grade and high school classmate of Don's. I had the pleasure of seeing him periodically since graduation from CCHS and he always brought laughter and joy to the occasion. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Jackie & Don, Melanie and Mrs. Winckowski,
It is very difficult to express my feelings especially when we have known each other over 40+ yrs. I can only say, now, you have an angel looking over you. Oh how I love you all and I feel your pain and I know how much it hurts. I also know that if God chose to take him at this time, his work was done and God needed Donnie more. My whole family wants to express our Deepest Sympathy to you all and that you are in our prayers now and forever. Please call if you need anything. You know you can.
We Love You Always,
Joe, Mary Ellen & Joey Austin (Bowling Green, Ohio)

Mr. & Mrs. Fall,

My heart cries with you during this time of sorrow. His death might leave a heartache but LOVE leaves a memory no one can steal. I know you have wonderful memories of Don. Given what I know about Don, he didn't just exist - he lived his life to the fullest and enjoyed it!! He took the gifts God gave him and used them to help others.
Please know that you and your family are in my prayers during this time.

Our sincere thoughts and prayers go to Don's parents and family. Unlike the skillful eloquence with which we have known Don to display, I am unable to find the words to express our sorrow. We will always remember him for his true friendship and kind heart. May his soul now rest with God.

Mr and Mrs Fall,
We knew Don because of our sons, Scott and Doug. I'll always remember his beautiful smile and cheery greeting when he'd come over to our house, "Hi Mrs T, how's it going?" We're so sorry for your loss. You are in our prayers and thoughts at this time.
