Donny, Jacob, and the entire family, I am very sorry for you loss. You are in my thoughts.
My condolences to Don’s wife and family. I handled several legal matters for him in the last few years. He was a gentleman and a pleasure to work with.
I have known Don for about 7 years. He was a kind man and a good friend. He had a great sense of humor and gave good advice when called upon. He was the kind of guy who would really be there for you. He will be greatly missed.
I have been friends with Don since 1999. He will be greatly missed and I wish in the recent years I would have visited with him more. He is probably up in heaven joking, laughing and telling secrets like old times with my wife.
