RIP Don. We seem to be seeing way to much of this in the last year. I'm glad everyone is kept informed though. Prayers for his family.

Oh wow! I just revived an old thread asking for his knowhow just the other day. I'm sitting here with a heavy heart right now.

RIP Don, you will be missed.

I think Don had enjoyed his time in this world with his truck. I think he got a little taste of Heaven while enjoying his truck:















RIP Don

Sam, thanks for posting. I also received word this morning about Don's passing. Don and his wife Shirleen, were good friends with Joyce and I. I had an e-mail from Shirleen last week and she said that Don was not doing well but still working every day. I had planned to go up next Wednesday to have lunch with them. I guess the good Lord had other plans for Don. Don, God's speed, you will be missed. Shirleen, our prayers are with you and your family. Remember the good times.

I am honored to have been your friend.

Gil
