Tammy our heart go out to you. Don was not only an amazing co-worker but a great friend outside of work. His sense of humor was truly unique. He was a giant not in height but personality. We shared the same passion and love for our wives , family , friends, the outdoors and water. He will be missed and you will remain in our thoughts and prayers along with all of his family .Rest in Peace brother.
