Dear Julie and family. So sorry to learn that Don passed away. He was a good friend in childhood who I will always fondly remember. We were lucky to have lived when we did and so fortunate to have had great parents. Many fond memories of Don, Pat & Bob, and Bea.

To Julie and family,
I send my thoughts and prayers to you and your family on your loss of Don.
I celebrate his life. He was a fun guy. He had a memory for friends and asked about those whom he had not seen in many years. He had a gift of making others feel special. He had been asking others if our home was going to host another Super Bowl Party. I had promised we would.
I"ll be thinking of Don when we cheer "the Cowboys" win the Superbowl" Blessings to you
