We are very sorry to hear of Don’s passing. We have fond memories of Don and Kathy at various functions over the years. We are specifically grateful that Don and Kathy allowed us to use their home in Exeter during our wedding reception exactly 25 years to the day of Don’s passing (September 9, 1989) to change into our ‘civies’ during our wedding reception at the Exeter Legion. Don, you will be missed.
