Donnie is my nephew and he used to love to come to Grandpa and Grandma Pellett's on vacation in the summer, and he would help me do my chores, and by the end of the week, he thought of them as "His" chores. He knew Smiley before I did, and when he found out we were going together, he thought that was funny, that he would now be related to "both" of us. Our love to all his family, he was a very good guy. We used to have lots of fun together. Ronda Fortun

I think the fondest memories I have with Don were the times in Zephyrhills, FL on either his porch or Marvin Johnsons porch just talking and watching the weather. Spent many hours doing that when Dad (Marvin) was alive and after he had passed.
Great way to pass a warm winter in FL. Usually Dads in the morning with coffee and afternoons at Dons,

We were deeply saddened to hear of Don's passing. He will be missed by all his neighbors in Southern Charm RV Park. He always had a friendly greeting and a warm smile.
