I am sorry to hear of Don's passing. He was a sweet man and I enjoyed talking with him at the post office, especially about our mutual decision to (re)join a church so late in life. He could also be quite funny when it came to stories of the "kids" and grandchildren. My condolences Bonnie, I am so very sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family.

Our deepest condolences to his loving wife Bonnie, children and family of such a wonderful sweet and kind loving man. We attended Don's retirement party and were very happy for him- sometimes we question the Lord's reasoning and wonder why??? I guess its not for us to question, I don't know but I and Frank ask that Peace and comfort be given to all of you and all who knew him. May you Rest in Peace Don(Tink) and know your memory will be forever etched in our hearts. It is with great sadness that we cannot attend the viewing or funeral but we want all to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. GOD bless
