We have so many wonderful memories of our times together. Aunt Bea loved you dearly and your love for her was obvious to everyone. Never a harsh word was spoken by you and your kindness to all will always be remembered. A great Astros fan, it was always fun to watch the game together. When talking with mutual friends of Don, we hear "He's such a nice guy". A perfect description of a great man. We miss you.
