Don is a very genuine person that always had a smile and loved talking to Everybody. He loved Marilyn and his family very much. He always had a project big or small and didn’t stop working on them until completed. I read Don never met a stranger, he always made people feel welcomed. That is so true. Years after I married Deb I eventually became someone that he felt was a good Husband for his daughter. My fault! Now and for sometime I’ve been “ there favorite Son-in-law” lol I feel fortunate to of had the Privilege of knowing him ! Rest In Peace Don 😔

Love, prayers & sympathy to Marilyn and all the family. Don was truly one of the nicest, most talented & most helpful human beings to walk this earth. He was always busy with a “project” either for his family or for someone else. We know he got the express ride to heaven and we were so privileged to have them as close friends for so many Havasu winters. ❤️
