To Don's Family,
I met Don at senior center in Church Hill. He was one of nicest people you could ever know. One day he said to me "you look like someone I know." Turns out he knew my sister Frieda, who is married to Steve. You will be missed Don. Prayers to Family

To Don's Family,
We are deeply saddened to hear of Don's passing. You could not find a nicer gentleman anywhere. Heaven has gained a wonderful person.
We are out-of-town and unable to attend services.
Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you.
With love,
Jerry & Wanda
