I am so shocked to hear of Dons passing. I remember all the fun we use to have. My thoughts are with you all. I’m so sorry. Love Robin
This truly saddens me, Don was always helping me fix cars at Dad’s store. He was truly someone you could depend on. I know both of my parents thought a lot of him as did I. I was hoping to see him at the reunion but I knew he was sick. I’m heartbroken I didn’t get to say goodbye.
Prayers to the family.
