I have such wonderful memories of my Uncle Don and I will miss him so much. The service was such an inspiration to both of us. Mary, Robert and Val, it was wonderful to see you. It's too bad it was in these sad circumstances. I hope we will be able to keep in touch with each other even though we're spread throughout the U.S. Love to all.##imported-begin##Karen Kamm (Linley) and Charlie Kamm##imported-end##
I am very sorry for your loss. I can only imagine what you all must be going through. He was a very kind man. He was always so full of energy. It was touching to see the relationship he had with all of his family members. He will truly be missed.##imported-begin##Terry Curran##imported-end##

Thank you too for caring for my mother (Granny), but most of all Don thank you for being a grandfather to David and my other grandchildren.

I always felt as if Don was the second dad in the neighborhood to me. Always happy and had something nice to say about everyone. Will never forget how he loved chili and rice. Never heard of that combination til he told us, guess he was always ahead of his time. He will be missed.##imported-begin##Lisa Quarry##imported-end##
I have fond memories of Don when he
would come into the office to visit
his daughter Mary.
He always had a smile on his face.
His smile will be deeply missed.
God Bless you Don.##imported-begin##Linda Richards##imported-end##
