Gail,

My deepest sympathies on the passing of Don.  I remember how both of you spoiled my mother both before and during her illness.  I can never forget your kindness.  May he rest in eternal peace.

Don Jr. grew up two doors down from my family at the corner of twelfth st. and Warman Ave, in an area known as Haughville on the Westside of Indianapolis, IN. His mother Donna and my mother were close friends, his sisters and my sister played together, they were a good close family and great people. Don Jr. was the younger of the children. The kids often ate our home and visa-versa. I have not seen them since the late '60s but I remember them well. May he rest in peace and rejoin his parents and sister in eternity.

I first met Don when he started working at Amax Coal Company in Indianapolis in 1976.  We became friends but had become separated by the miles for many years.  Don was one of the most unique and smartest individuals that I've had the pleasure to call a friend.  He and Gail had a lot going for them.  I sure do wish we had remained closer.  Bonnie and I got to visit with him and Gail in December of last year after he'd gotten out of the hospital.  We had a wonderful visit.   I was saddened greatly to get the call of his passing.  Rest in peace dear friend and hopefully you'll be reunited with Erin and Matt! 

Our sincere condolences to you Gail, and to your family.
Don was a wonderful neighbor, but most of all a treasured friend.
We will always have the memories we shared to look back on, but 
he will always live on in our hearts.
May you find peace and strength during this difficult time.
Love,  Anna & Dennis
