Don and I fished together many times, he was a good companion, fun to be around, just an all around nice guy. I sure he will be missed by many.

It is an honor to have known Don. He will definitely be missed for his fish stories, card playing, and constant razzing. My thoughts and prayers go out for Glenda and the fact.

I am glad I got to know him, even if for a short time. He was a nice guy and he shared his fish!!!!! AND His big fat tomatoes.

Memories of going fishing and countless other must be there with those of you who knew him best. May this scripture come to mind (Acts 25:14) also when you remember him.
