I am shocked and sad that this man, with a larger than life personality is gone from this world. May God bless you all as you grieve his passing. I will always have fond memories of Don at the Hill/Darby reunion and am so sad that COVID has kept us from seeing him the past couple of years. Sending love from the states..
