mrsbink me wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Jo and family, Kent and I were deeply saddened to hear of Don’s passing. He was such a steady and influential presence in Kent’s life, guiding him from his early teenage years all the way through adulthood and into his years as a parent. That kind of lasting impact speaks volumes about the man Don was. Don and you have long been role models to us, showing what it means to work hard, support one another, and lead with confidence. Please know that our thoughts are with all who loved Don.”
