He taught me so much,stood in as the father I never had,walked me down the aisle on my wedding day,told me great stories and sometimes inappropriate jokes(which I always passed on). Cooked the best rabbit stew I ever had! There was never a dull moment,lapse in conversation,or a frown on your face when Don was in the room. I will miss him.

Don and Angie were like high school kids in love. The looks they gave each other were genuine and respectful.
Don's smile was contagious and his stories were outrageous!
May he and John have a few cheers and laugh together in heaven peacefully.
God Bless you all
love
