This is Patricia. I am Don’s youngest daughter I was wondering how you knew my dad? Would love to hear stories of his past, my dad loved to tell us thing’s from when he was in military and when he was a firefighter! My dad loved to tell us such long stories about stuff, I think it’s all he ever knew!!

Wanda, our family sends our love and prayers to you and your family. Your kind and gentle spirit and often requests to pray for your family, remind us of the love you carry in your heart for your family and your dear father Don, our friend of many years. I pray God's Spirit comfort you all, bring Peace and heal your hearts over the coming days. Since 1957 we've know the family.  I can still see your father in his uniform and hat. So smart and sharp.  He looked out for mother's home and many a time we stood at the mailbox and talked on end. Time moves on, and so our loved ones too. But our Hope is in the person of Jesus Christ and that one day we will see our loved ones again. Love & Prayers
