Sending love and warm thoughts to all of the family.  I have so many great memories of having Don as my step dad when I was a teenager. He was there for me during my high school years as a Dad but also as a friend and a cheerleader. He was a positive role model in so many ways and loved unconditionally. We stayed connected over the years and it was wonderful to have Don and Elaine visit me and my family in Seattle in 2007. We saw the sights and had a great time. 
Our last emails were around Father’s Day , he wrote to thank me for his card and I wanted to share with his beloved family what he wrote on June 16th this year:
“Thanks for the lovely Father's day card.  It's so nice to hear that I made a positive influence on someone.  That knowledge completes my life.  Thanks again for being you.
By way of news, our local family, that is Elaine's boys and my boys and grandchildren and great grand children are gathering at Sonny's BBQ on Sunday. So we will have four generations in the flesh and a million generations in spirit as we honor the Father of all. Love, Pops” 

Being way out here in Seattle, I didn’t get to know all of the family, but I do know how much he loved you all. To Denver, Murrell, and the whole family I give my heartfelt sympathy, I am so sorry for your loss.



Mr. Don, you always were a true gentleman sir. Rest in peace sir.  Tell all our friends and foes hello.  Peace be with you.  Amen!
