I first want to say I’m sorry to the family. Don was a great man. He made an impact on my life. He’ll surely be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Don was always one of my faverite people at church. Always having a smile on his face. I’ll miss seeing him when I come home but I know we’ll meet again.
