Gayle, Carl and family – so sadden to hear of the passing of your Dad. Some of most fondest memories growing up, are the times I spent at your home. “Dad” would always make it his job to make me laugh. Hugs to all
Sorry to hear of Don’s death. I am sure he and Max Lingenfelser are up there in heaven shootin the bull again. Max spoke of him often and had a fond memories of Don when they worked together at Morton’s Building Blocks.
I knew Don for nearly 60 years, he was a great friend. I always enjoyed visiting with him about the old days. I worked for him off and on in the late 60’s and always appreciated him putting up with me back then. He was a really good man. Gayle and Carl, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Carl, I am sorry for your loss.
Gayle and Carl, I’m so sorry about the loss of your father. I first met Don in the 60’s at his station and we remained friends ever since. He was a really good man.
