Uncle Don was extremely kind and thoughtful. He always made everyone feel welcome in his home. He and Aunt Judy liked to laugh and made others laugh with some amazing stories. My earliest memories include the special attention he always gave to Grandma Blunck and Great-Grandma Reece and his business attire (every day in white shirt with a black tie). He was truly one of the good guys and will be greatly missed.

Donald was my first cousin. I spent my growing-up years with this family. Donald loved golf and enjoyed keeping up with my grandson Jonathan Randolph on the PGA tour. Also, Brandt Snedeker was a very special PGA tour player to him. I wish we could have spent more time together in our later years but since I live in Florida that wasn't possible. We did have a cousins' get-together just a few years. I will miss him!!

Rest well, Old Soldier. I'm sure you've been well received in Fiddler's Green.
Mongoose Bravo bids you a fond farewell!

After writing the book about these guys I feel like I fought with them, such a friend since the first time Bob brought me to the reunions. He will be missed. Prayers are with the family, thinking of you. Ric and I will be going to Benton.
