"What a character and a great guy to work with learn from and to hang out with . Had many laughs with Don while working together for Cessfords. Enjoyed the fishing whenever we could. Sorry for never having any camels but you always found a home for the Marlboro filters. Tight lines Donnie. Mike Hamilton"

"Connie and Family. I sorry for your loss. I worked with Don for many years at Arbie?s. Don was fun to work with and he never got mad at us if he had to wait for his truck to be loaded. Don aways reminded me of Dewey a lot. We aways gave Don a hard time when he went too S.D. (Dewey loved S.D.). Don would get a good laugh. Next Arbie get together I?ll tell you the whole story Connie.

"Connie and family, I am sorry to hear of Don's passing. I only met Don the one time I helped clean up the property after the big storm some years ago. But that one time was enough to know that Don was a hard working tough ole man. He will be missed."

"So sorry for your personal loss. His brother's Jamie and Robin nearly raised me on Marshall Drive. My favorite quote from my own father came from Danny and I use it a lot. My dad did a lot of carpentry and had ahabit after cutting a board of dropping the board on end to knock the dust off. One day Danny sat watching dad cut boards and then felt he needed to help. Danny dropped board and dad stopped him and asked why he did that? "Just knocking the dust off Francis, just knocking the out off." A great family thanks for the memories. God bless. Michael Carr"
