 Don was an old school mate and we were also family.  I was married to his cousin Michael and also his cousin Phil from Chico. Both deceased. I remember Don coming to me when we were seniors and told me he had a crush on Patsy Johnson and could I fix him up with a blind date. I did and the rest was history. We had lots of laughts and good times. R.I.P. Carmel (Farley) Ashwill, Cameron Park, Ca.

Jay I hope you got a chance to view the photos and video.

Jay, so good to hear from you. I wish I could have been able to reach you. We had a nice service for Don. I would love to talk to you.

Don's father was in my mother's high school class at Shasta High. I moved next door to Don in 1950. Long time friend, Best man at his wedding. Have not seen him for the past few years, but sorry to hear of his death.

So sorry for your loss Patsy my condolences to you and your loving family.

My name is Mark Frost, Don lived next door to my parents since I was about 12 years old.  Even though Don was 17 years older than me we had alot in comomn-fishing at Shasta Lake, hearing about "big fish" stories from my brother and Don.  I appreciated what Don taught me-deep sea fishing, sturgeon fishing in Shasta Lake as well as finding historical items in the forest like old bottles and cans from the mining days.  When I was at Shasta High and later college, Don and his Dad would always have some work for me if I needed to make extra money.

I appreciate and will miss Don.
