    We at the Farmers Market are very sorry to hear of Don’s passing. We enjoyed many conversations with Don and he always enjoyed his slices of pie over the years. His happy smiling face was always appreciated.

    We are very sorry to hear of Don’s passing. We have fond memories of Don and Kathy at various functions over the years. We are specifically grateful that Don and Kathy allowed us to use their home in Exeter during our wedding reception exactly 25 years to the day of Don’s passing (September 9, 1989) to change into our ‘civies’ during our wedding reception at the Exeter Legion. Don, you will be missed.

    Kathy – I am sorry to hear of Don’s passing. I recall my conversations

    with him a long time ago about rental units. He was a smart man.

    I am thinking of you. It is never an easy time to get through but

    somehow we are granted the strength.
