I am sad to see of Don's passing. I've known him since 1967 and have been pleased to have known him the whole time.
I just stopped at his home 2 years ago to catch up with him.
It was still a pleasure. His sons, Mike and Jon, swam at my quarry before they went off to advance their lives. Don was a great neighbor...he'll be missed. God bless you all.
