“Dear family, We have always appropriately referred to our dear neighbor as "friendly Don". He actually befriended me in 1989 (when I bought the little house up the street), and I have loved both of the Younkins since then. He's liked my golden retrievers-always petting them as "puppy dogs". They, in turn, enjoyed visiting him a lot as did I. May your grieving include the very best memories of Don.. I am so happy to have known him as my neighbor with the huge heart. Deb Martin”
