  1. Debbie, Patrick and family: I wish I had the perfect words to ease your grief, give you comfort. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

  2. I didn’t know Don very well. But, we saw each other every morning coming into work. Years ago, we immediately hit it off and started giving each other a hard time each morning. I used to sneak up with my jewelry and make the metal detector go off when he would come into the building so that the Sheriff’s would have to check him. He would get so mad. It was so nice to have someone like him around. I am very sad to find out at this late date that he is gone. I wanted you to know that I enjoyed seeing him all these years and having someone that just felt like family. I will miss him so much! I am so sorry for your loss.
