My Uncle Don was the funniest person I know. He would always make me laugh until it hurt. I remember caddying for him and I knew nothing about golf at that age. He taught me basic lessons that I’ll never forget.

Don was a great companion for many years. Don and I lived together for the many years and we really enjoyed each other’s company. In the last couple of years I really depended on Don to help with Daily activities. He was a wonderful man. Me and Skippy (our Dog) will certainly miss him.
Love Carolyn.
