    Don, I have so many memories of all the fun times, but most importantly you were also there for me when times were not so great. You taught me more about art and life than you probably ever realized. You were my mentor and a tried-and-true friend. I love you and I will never forget you. I salute you and I'm sure that you will meet up in heaven with all your family, friends and Sons of Madaleen who have gone before you. God Bless you.

    When i was a kid, my brother and I would enter Don's Model Car Contests. He would display the cars in the main window a week before the judging and trophy awards. I still have all my trophies today...Thanks Don for making these childhood memories of ours...they will always be talked about. R.I.P. DON.
