Guestbook
Don was a good friend to my husband,Jim(Grey Eagle) I kept in touch for the last 12 years by phone every week or so Will miss his visits to the lake. ” Good Guy”
I am so sorry to hear of Don’s passing. When I worked at the ROSE Center in Paynesville, Don would come for Senior Dining.I would chat with him and he would always say hello to me. He was a quiet man, but I would get a smile out of him once in a while. Remembering you and your family at this difficult time.
