I was sorry to hear about Don's passing. We were neighbors in the 40's & 50's, and Don was in my sister's room in school. Our prayers are with the family.

To the family of Donnie, I am so sorry for your loss. I went to school with Donnie's sister Sherry and a few years ago when I was in Paw Paw for business I stopped by Donnie's house to ask about Sherry. He and his family were so hospitable. God bless you all.

Don will be missed by so many in the community, especially the baseball program. My sons and I will never forget him. He was the first to give them encouragement in baseball,and they ended up doing very well in the sport.
