He was a kind soul with a heart of gold. Don and his beautiful wife made such a great team they often knew what each was thinking. He loved his family dearly and if he were able to say one more thing to his loved ones it would be, “Love each other every second because God is love. Without God and love this world would be hard to live in. I love you all!” Note from Don’s wife: “Sweetheart, you spread your wings and fly above as a Guardian Angel over us all. Till we meet again. I love you.”
