Don was the greatest friend you could have.  I first met Don in 1960 on a missile base in Selinale Kansas.  We were both adjusters and equal.  Then Don was  a mechanic and I was a helper he was the boss.  Then I was made a mechanic and we where equal.  Then I was construction superintendent and was Don’s boss.  Then he became a supervisor and where equal.  I went back with the tools and Don was my boss. Next I went to St. Louis as a superintendent and we where equal.  Next we both retired.
But what  was important is, in a motel in Des Moins Don led me to the Lord and told me about the greatest gift ever.  Words cannot explain what this man did for me
