Your Dad always had a hearty laugh that I remember. He is at peace now watching over all of you.
So sorry to hear of Kay Don’s passing. Worked with him at General Mills. He was a nice guy and enjoyed working with him. I remember him always adjusting his bump cap and rubbing his belly when he was gonna tell a story. Kim Casteel
Carol,
I’m so very sorry to hear about Kay Don. He would come into the grocery store and we would always kid back and forth. I always liked him, he was easy and fun to visit with. I also enjoyed my visits with you when you came with him. I will remember Kay Don with a smile and good thoughts, he was a very nice gentleman. You had a good one.
With sympathy,
Annamae Baker
