After a brief search of the internet I found this memorial. What does a someone say after 13 years? Well here goes, I have just learned of Don passing and all I can do is reflect and cry. I have such good memories that will last in my mind of a light-hearted and genuine man. I pulled out some long lost photos when I left Colorado in 2003 to be reminded of him, you Sue, and Chantel. I want you to know how saddened I am for your loss specifically and the loss to those who knew him. Sitting around the table playing cards and on his birthday having a good ole' shot of Jack Daniels. He always had that fun loving smile, his laugh, and a firm hand shake. On this night of Dec the 2nd 2016 I hoist a glass from Tennessee in honor of Don.....With respect, Derek Davis
