Marcia, you once told me that good neighbors are made by strong fences...but with you & Don as our neighbor "fences just weren't necessary"! My favorite memories of Don were shared in our back yards. He could pull you into any topic or discuss serious current events & then set you up for a big laugh at the end. He was the best!
To know Don was to love Don. Whenever we see the "Dos Equis" commercial with "the most interesting man in the world" we think of Don. He was interesting and vastly entertaining sharing his tales of growing up in West Virginia, his stint in the Navy and the places it took him, as well as his various and sundry occupations thereafter. However, he was much more than a humorous story-teller. He was kind, thoughtful, intelligent, spiritual, and the best of people. Don's earthly star has dimmed but in its place is the brightest of stars in the heavens. Don, you will be missed by all who had the great fortune of knowing and loving you. Rest In Peace, Our Dear Friend. And may you, Marcia, find peace in his passing knowing Don has a unique place in Heaven.

Dear Marcia, I was so saddened to read of Don's passing. Don was an sweet, caring man. I often thought of he and you and have missed you both. If I can help in any way, please let me know. I know Don and Mike are in heaven together enjoying a drink and each other again. My sincere condolences to you and your family. Rita Mooney
