Mary Rae ,Darin and Christina and your family. Jane and I and JJ and Adam are so very sorry for your loss . I know he was very happy to be living in Florida with you guys. He was such a good man. I'm proud to have him as a brother in law and being able to hunt and work with him for many years. He was always willing to help me or anyone. .

Aunt Mary, Darin and family, Christina and family, our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Uncle Don was - and always will be - a big bright spot in my life, and the lives of many others. I miss him already. He was bold and kind, smart and funny, and he loved his family. There are so many good memories in which he was an integral part. He was always willing to share the good news of Jesus. There are too many good things to write in a small space, but in short, the world is a better place because he was in it. Thank you, Uncle Don. Have blessed rest in Christ until we meet again.
