Don was a wonderful neighbor, we will miss his smile and wave when he would be sitting out in his garage, and we would be driving by.
Great neighbor. Pray his memories will help get you through your grief.

Don was a long time friend and customer of mine (Kemps). We shared many times with the SuperValu group through lunches and trade shows. My sympathies go out to his family. My he Rest In Peace.
