Don was one of the best people I've ever had the priviledge of knowing. He had a great spirit of love and caring. A great blessing to us and to our church. He was a great example of a Godly Christian life. We love you Don and look forward to meeting again in Heaven.

So very sorry to hear of Don's passing. Although we were cousins living in different states I always felt very fortunate to see him at occasional family reunions & especially enjoyed having lunch with him & visiting the old family farm in WV. I know he will be greatly missed. Our deepest sympathy to the family.
