Allison Swords wrote a sympathy message

“Emma, Lauralee, and Dondi (and family) - We were so deeply saddened to hear of Don's passing. He was such a gentle man. Kind-hearted. He always wore a smile. Always. He could be walking, working, grilling, sitting - and he still wore a smile! A man of a few words for sure, but when he did speak up, people listened. The legacy that he has given to your family will live on through your kids and grandchildren. The world was a better place because of Don. He will be missed deeply. ~Swords Family”
