I am so sorry to hear about Don . I remember going over there as a teenager and he was always smiling and joking around! He will be missed!
Super great guy, we worked together at Huber, I’m sorry for your loss.
Sending prayers and hugs for Gods comfort and peace! Don was a sweetheart. He will be missed! Such a wonderful family he was so loved and cared for.
Aunt Bev. We were sad to hear Uncle Don passed. Have a lot of fond memories when we all lived around the circle from each other. Our prayers are with you and your family. On all the important days, and on the regular ones too, he will always be missed. Love you
