Message: We will miss Don dearly. We became fast friends at a potluck in our recreation center for our neighborhood and enjoyed many get togethers thereafter. Don and Debbie opened their home for weekly Bible studies during their winters in AZ. Additionally we played Dominoes, Skippo and ate out at Brothers Restaurant among other things. What a Godly, loving, wise couple. I can still hear his voice saying "That's my gal!" (in reference to Debbie) We are grateful for our times together.

Message: Sorry to hear about Don's passing. Have been thinking of Don and Debbie a lot the past few months. Very nice people who always treated me like one of their own. Don and Debbie did a great job raising their family and had their priorities straight! Their kids were great to be around and very respectful. Don was a hard worker and a great person and I am very sorry for your loss. But we know this is just the beginning and our best life is to come. I am happy to have known Don and his family and we are much much better having known them and having them as friends and community neighbors. Always had time to say howdy and ask how you were doing, just all around good people. Please email when you have time so I know how each of you are doing. God bless you all!

Message: We had the pleasure of knowing Don and Debbie for a few years. They attended Bible study in our home and Don was always interested in what other people were doing. Don was a godly man and respected by many people in Arizona and New Hope Fellowship of Sun City West where they worshipped during the winter months. Certainly this world's loss was heaven's gain! We shall see him again!
