Don’s family,
I just heard today the Don had passed. I am a neighbor plus a friend. I would see Don and Betty out at dances and he would dance with me. He was such a sweet man. I would see him walking his dog and he told me one time that he took a route with a lot of sit down places as he was old and needed to rest. LOL It is a sad day that such a gentleman was taken from us. My prayers are with you all, but I know he is with his wife in heaven. I will miss him dearly. God Bless all of youl
