I am so sorry to hear of Don’s passing. We went to Fenton High School together. We made some great memories back then. What a sweet kind soul he was. He gave me my first serious valentines card in 9th grade. I still have it. I have often thought of him but never knew where he went after high school. Heaven has received another angel for sure!
Don was my best friend all through high school. I lost touch with him after our first year together at MSU, and I regret never connecting. He was a good and loyal friend …. bright, and always full of fun. He will he sorely missed!
