    One of my first summer jobs was working with Don laying sod as a summer job. Hot and dirty work but helped shape my work ethic. Thoughts and prayers for his family.

    Vida:
    I am very sorry to read of the passing of Don. You now have a big hole in your heart where Don has been. Sometimes one can walk around the hole, many times one falls into the hole. Falling in the hole will lessen as time passes, however, falling in will always continue on occasion. This will never change.
