  6. We want your family to know how sorry we are to hear of the passing of Don. As his cousin, it was always a pleasure seeing and visiting with him at family gatherings. His calm, laid back approach to life I found most refreshing and enjoyable. Know that you are all in our prayers during your time of grieving. He was a special guy who will be missed by all.
