Hundreds Of Hours Were Spent By Me And Don Together In A Variety Of Activities From Tailgating At Wvu Football Games, Having Beers Together, Travelling For Various Activities, All The Things Two Good Friends Might Do Together Over A Lifetime. This Is Naturally A Painful Loss For Me. I Had Been Thinking Not Long Ago, I Have Not Seen Or Heard From Don For A Long Time And He Has Been On My Mind. A Few Months Ago I Had Written His And Another Friend’S Name In A Note To Try To Contact Him. It’S Still In My Wallet. Judy & I Will Always Treasure The Memory Of Don.
