    Well there are too many to list of my memories with Don, worked with him many years at Korlin Concentrates, long night shifts when it felt like time had stopped, man I sure enjoyed the debates with Don over the problems of world, not always agreeing with each over. He will be missed and never forgotten. It was a gift to know him. My heart goes out to Shirley and the family. Yours Truly Dan Lauze

    Sending a hug, and sympathy to you, Shirley, and family. Don had a long battle, but your loving care kept him in the ‘land of the living’ for a much longer time. He loved his ‘smoker’ and the internet – looking up receipes. May good memories surround you at this time, and know that others share your grief.
