So sad to see the passing of another old G-burg classmate. Donny and I had a great time together struggling to learn to play the guitar. He always had that wry grin and words to make you smile as well. He was a good man.

Don has been a loving partner to my mother, Diane Lewis for nearly 10 years. He has also been a dad figure and friend to my brothers Greg, Gary, and Craig,as well as myself. Don had a kind way about him, he was humorous and had more jokes than anyone else I know. He made us laugh so many times. He also loved each of us deeply and made that known to us. We loved Don and feel so blessed to have had him in our lives. We won't forget the many family holiday's we shared, the birthdays, weekly family dinners,the Eagles,Pete's Ice Cream, which Don absolutely loved. The "big" waffle cone and butter pecan ice cream was his favorite. Our trips to Wisconsin were especially fun with many warm memories. Don's love for old black and white movies, especially Western's and country music will not be forgotten. He loved to sing and play his guitar. He was simply an amazing man. Mylene and Tanna (Daddy's)dogs loved him as much as he loved them. They miss him. They continue to wait for him to come home. We love you Don, endlessly and will miss you always. We will see you in Heaven someday...until then. Love, Diane, Pam, Greg, Gary, Craig, Mylene and Tanna.
