To Don's family,
I remember Don as a hard worker. He always had a smile and positive nature. He was willing to help his fellow workers on the job. We worked on multiple projects togather over the last dozen years. He was a valued team member in HVW Construction. My condolences to his family he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
