Dear Cousin Don,
What a great inspiration you were when I was growing up, you made our family So proud!
And, you were always fun to be around..
I spent a lot of time with Auntie Polly when I was young and I always enjoyed her “Donny” updates, to this day I still remember her stories and how much she loved you and how proud she was of you.
You made all of us proud Don. Thank You for your service to our country!

Rest In Peace my Dear Cousin, Bruce & I will keep you in our memories forever.
