Don has joined my husband Ron (passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on 3/14/15. Ron recently said he'd like to visit with Don, and now they can visit in Heaven. They were close friends in high school and we double dated often including the prom when I was a Freshman. Ron was also cremated. Prayers for all Don's family.

Sandy and family I am so sorry to hear of your fathers passing. A daughters heart breaks when their dad leaves this earth. I know that you had a close relationship and you can hold on to all the those memories. Several community members enjoyed his talent throughout the years and will feel the loss. May you find comfort from friends and family while your heart heals. I remember the fun we had in high school when you dad played in the Hootenanny for sport booster club. Hugs to Sandy.

Ny sympathy to your entire family. I will continue to enjoy the CD that Dale and I bought from you when we saw you that day at Lynn's Restaurant. Now Dale and Don can enjoy laughing together again. I can only imagine how surprised Dale will be when he sees Don.
Stay strong and keep the good memories.

We are the daughters of Betty St.George who was Don's step sister. We remember our Uncle Don playing his guitar when ever we had a visit. I remember, as a kid, how much fun it was to have real music in our home. He will be missed.

I have fond memories of Don-and always enjoyed talking with him and listening to him. I especially remember a jam at Agate Beach last summer where he and I traded songs. Good times with a good guy who had a giving heart and a great stage presence!

Dear Betty,
How do we say good bye to Don? There is no way. We treasure the chat we had with him Friday evening. He was in such a good mood and said "I love you" to Pat. The four of us have so many memories from all these years and we could never pick out any one in particular. Sitting around the table and laughing and telling jokes and just enjoying the time together are the things we will never forget. We go back many years--- the 4 of us. You name it and we did it. The fun times at Agate Beach and so many other places. We've always been there for each other and that won't change. Going to miss my best BUDDY. What a strong bond there is between us all. We treasure you Betty and love you so very much. Rest in Peace in Heaven Don and run with the Angels. Now you can hunt and fish whenever you want. We love you and will forever miss you Don our Mule Skinner.
