I met you guys at radiation with my Mom.I still remember last time we talked we were both just wishing for a good Christmas and a miralce for both our loved ones. I admired Don he never gave up. One doctor described cancer best to me all he said was it was the good guy disease because it took so many truly good people as is the case here. Anyway I just wanted to let you know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and my Mom and I have thought about you guys over the last few months and especially over the last week.

What a sad week for the sport of wrestling >Don will always be one of my alltime favorite parents and always conducted himself in a manner that was appreciated by all of the wrestling officials thru out our great state especially those in the Kanawha Southern Asssociation. My prayers are with the family at this time of sadness and my deepest condolences to all those who are family and friends of this wonderful man.

Dear Tammy and Kids, Our hearts go out to you at your loss. We wished we could have made the funeral but an older member of our congregation went to be the Lord on Monday and her funerl is tomorrow at 11. Had it not been for that we would have tried to be there. Don was a good friend and dear brother. Lots of Good memories. I remember the time at camp when he and I sunk the paddle boat. We both got to laughing so hard I thought we would drown. I will miss not see Don at Camp. Just know that you are in our hearts and prayers. If any of you need to talk about things you can email us or call 419-596-3999. Love Pastor Brent & Ellen

I am so sorry for your loss. As nurses we usually find personal things that attach us to our patients, but some patients we just naturally become more attached to and become more acquanitances than patients. Donald was one of those and I looked forward to his and Tammy's visits. Please know that the family is in my prayers. Donna

"Big Don" was a great friend and man of God. He loved his family and passed on a love for God. He truly made a difference in the world and I look forward to spending eternity in Heaven with him someday.

Please accept my most sincere condolences as you adjust to life without "Big Daddy". As is mentioned in his obituary, he is celebrating now. Look around and see all the influence he created, and cherish the time you had with him while he was here. Celebrate his life and carry the memories with you always.

I remember how supportive Don was of the wrestling team and Ben in particular. When Ben lost his dad, Don was kind and compassionate. I pray that your whole family knows that our family is praying for God's gentle care for you in your time of loss.
