Don was my rock. He was my number one fan and the best father-in-law anyone could ever dream of. It is a privilege to be in the family.
Love, Bill

October 10, 2013 at 1:56 pmThere is an old adage – “To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die.” – which is so true. Don will forever live in our hearts with the memories of our always colorful chats over the backyard fence and in his neighborhood mayor’s chair in the Force garage. Barley also has a memory of his subtle “arf” to Don when Barley spied him in his backyard and Don so graciously responded with pats on Barley’s head and scratches behind the ears. We will dearly miss you, Don, wonderful neighbor and forever friend. Thank you for the lasting memories. Bill, Nancy and Barley
