So very sorry for your loss. Don was a good person with a good heart and always strived to do the best for those with whom he worked. He was an important part of the WV Association of RC&Ds and surely an important RC&D member in his area. He will be missed.

Don and I worked together and car pooled together for almost 30 years. He was a good friend and golfing buddy. He will be missed by his family, friends snd church. Each of us need to support and pray for his family. Unfortunately I will be unable to attend his final service but will keep the family in my prayers.

Don worked with my dad, Jack Morris. He visited my parents at Hilton Head and followed up with them. I appreciated his friendship with them! Peace to all of you.
