Don is a key figure in many lives. Don encouraged us to use his shop for our song writer group, He encouraged and assisted the group as we played during the Red Cedar Jubilee, He was community oriented and it showed by how he valued us and his students. Don helped me personally through a very dark time and I am grateful.  Paula I am so sorry for your loss.  Eternal Respect. Rest In Peace.

Don was instrumental in fanning the passion of several local songwriters by allowing the Williamston-Area Songwriters Group to meet for free at Six-String Place.  He was always so encouraging and loved to see others succeed and grow in their musical endeavors.  My sincere condolences Paula!  Don will be, and already is, missed.  

Don was such a genuinely nice person.  We loved having our son take lessons with him.  His patience was never-ending.  He will truly be missed.  Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Don was one of the most genuine people I have ever met. He was patient, kind, good natured, supportive, wise, and a fantastic leader. I looked up to him on my journey of learning music. He had so much talent and it was clear to me that he loved showing others how to play the instrument he held so dear to him. I will forever be grateful for what he taught me on guitar and for guiding me in learning bass guitar. He was a warm and welcoming presence to a young, eight year old girl who had only recently moved to Michigan and wanted so badly to learn to play an instrument. I will forever treasure these memories. May he rest in peace. 

To Paula- I am so very sorry for your loss. He was a truly great man. 

Don was a great instructor of music and life for my daughter,  Catherine, and myself. I will miss seeing him on the streets of Williamston. 

Don was one of the most genuine people I’ve ever met, and that I’ve known almost my whole life. I’m grateful he gave me the opportunity to work for him, and that he made a space where he made so many people feel welcome. He was truly one in a million and will be missed. Rest In Peace, Don. 

Don was a wonderful man and teacher. He helped my grandson develop a strong love for music. He also encouraged him and all of the students at his business to enjoy their love of music. He will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you Paula and all his family and friends.

Don was a dedicated and patient teacher (he had to be with me).  We got to know each other well and shared many aspects of our lives. He was much more than a teacher and a friend. He shared his incredible talent freely.
His loss will leave a big empty place in our lives. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Paula and the rest of his family.

Don was an extremely gifted welcoming man. One who impacted so many lives for the better including my very own. The gift to teach and gather people in so many different ways, is one that will be missed dearly. He’ll forever live in our hearts and his memories not forgotten, and the passion for music will always live on. Rest In Peace. 


Dear Paula,
Don was a most patient, gifted teacher.  I have so many memories of him trying to get me to drill measures. A beautilful soul.

Paula,  I’m so sorry to hear about this.  I remember the day you and Don came to my 4th of July party.  I hadn’t seen you in years and had never met Don.  That made my day!  Later that summer I went and heard your band perform in Williamston.  That was fun, and a nice memory.  May God bless you.-Kevin

My condolences to his loved ones. Don was a gifted, caring and generous teacher. He did wonderful things for his students. We are all so lucky he shared his talent and overall positivity.  The Kube-Mele’s

Paula I am so sorry for your loss.  My favorite memory of Don was his coming to our unit and playing Christmas Carols for the patients and us.  Such a kind and gentle soul.  Prayers and love to you.
