It is with a sad heart that I have learned about Don's passing.  We spent many years in the same Navy Reserve unit and went on many training missions together.  I remember the fun times and the serious times we had as military brothers.  Sue and I send our belated condolences to Joan and the family.  May God watch over you all,
Lyle Vandestreek

We are so grateful for the time with Don and sharing good meals, engaged conversations and fellowship. May his love and all the kind hearts who knew him hold Joanie and the family through this grieving and challenging time. With loving hearts, Jeffrey and Debra Hall, Surf Pines

I met Don & Joan a very long time ago when I was married to Tom. I remember the occasion being at their house watching a football game. They were both so very friendly, gracious & kind.   Occasionally I would run into Don..he was still the same as when I met him a long time ago. RIP Don.

I worked with Don on the line crew back in the mid 70's. I learned a lot from Don and we both enjoyed the close knit atmosphere that came with being part of a special line crew. Those were the days.

Incredibly blessed to be Uncle Don's niece and friend. My husband and son will miss him terribly and cherish every single story, every special memory, the laughs, the happy hours, and the life lessons. We love you Uncle Don and we will watch out for Aunt Joannie for ya!

I worked with Don, or "DD", as most of us in the Bell contract work office referred to him as..I enjoyed sharing an office & working with him over at the 65th & Cully construction garage. He retired prior to me, but I still remember how "spit & polish" he was about his desk, appearance and his personal truck. He was both fun and a hard worker. My thoughts are with Joan, who DD spoke of with much admiration & love. I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet and work with Don.

Lucky to be Don's sister in law. He always greeted me with a warm hug and gracious words. Loved to listen to his stories and hear him laugh.
