Mavis & boys.
Don was one great man, he did live his life to the fullness, he love each one of you so much, I am sitting here remembering the many stories you told of Marshall & Wade of the many trips Hunting, hiking, just being together as family.
Our prayers are with each and everyone of you.
Mavis can write a book of the many adventures with Don; from life in the service, making a home, raising their children and all their many travels around the world. No one can tell better stories with such color so you know he will always be well remembered in the telling. He left such a genuine legacy; love of family, love of nature, love of adventure, love of travel, heart, order and tenacity. We all will miss him dearly.
