CONDOLENCES
My childhood memories are filled with Uncle Don's laughter... when he laughed, everyone around couldn't help but join in. I can't remember ever being around him when he wasn't joking and laughing about something. I don't believe he ever had an enemy in his life. I loved him and I will never forget him.

My most favorite memories growing up with Don is somewhere there making a joke or pulling a prank. He was loved by all and missed by everyone.
