I'm so sorry to read of Don's passing. I worked with him many years ago at Prison Enterprises. His natural ability to entertain and make everyone laugh was a joy. He often spoke about his love and respect for Marie. When he spoke of his children, it was with pride. Rest In Peace, Don. I'm so grateful you came into my life. Sending prayers to the family.
