Mary Jane,

I worked with Don for years at the gun shop, and I'll never forget him. We had great times telling stories, shooting, playing guitars, and talking hunting stories. He had a dry sense of humor, but really funny when you got to know him. I miss those times.
My sincerest condolences on his loss. He will be missed, but not forgotten.

Yours in Service,

Ron White
