Sue Lynch wrote a sympathy message

“My deepest sympathy goes to Don's family. I spent many Sundays sitting next to Don and Norma in our Lighthouse-Murphy Sunday School class. Don always exuded a quiet, calm demeanor. His devotion to Norma and deep faith was obvious. I am sure he will be sorely missed.”
