We were shocked to hear of Don’s passing. We have so many great memories of our time growing up. Camping trips, the Bedford incident, the six of us getting together.
All the laughs and jokes. There was never a dull moment. We always supported each other no matter what. Our condolences go out to our dear friend Nancy and all the family. Our condolences also go out to Honey and Bo on losing their little brother. He will be sadly missed by all. He was the life of any party.

A life well lived , a roll model in Nancy’s partnership as we witness your kids success.

We are shocked to hear of Don’s passing. He was a great neighbor, coworker and fantastic friend to us in Naperville, IL. Don always wore a smile on his face and had an invasive laugh as he relayed his unique puns. As we walk thru this short life, it is extremely rewarding to have a friend like Don. We will always remember and cherish our time with Don and his family.
Dear Nancy – I was so saddened to hear of Don’s passing. Although the years and miles have separated us, I have many fond memories of earlier times with you both and remember Don’s infectious laugh, sense of humor and love for his family. Sending my deepest condolences to you and your family.
