Rick Dotzenrod wrote a sympathy message

“Hi Gail, I just heard about Don’s passing. You have our deepest condolences. Our family has many great memories of you and Don and the girls, and Mt. St. Peter. Our children all started skiing there. I’ll never forget how Don and I first met. I told the story to friends many times. I am 82 and still skiing. R.A, several nieces and nephews were skiing at Mt. Lacrosse, Wisconsin just last weekend. Thinking of you as we all mourn Don’s passing. Sincerely, Rick and Dana Dotzenrod”
