I have been blessed to know and work with Don for many years while we were at Asheville East KOA. He was my “go to man” for any issues that came up. Great sense of humor and dedicated to his family. It was a joy to go with Don and Carol to our favorite Mexican joint in Black Mountain, hmmm wonder if there is Mexican food in Heaven
You will be missed Uncle Don. I will always cherish memories of you. This isn’t goodbye. It’s see you later. Rest easy. We love you!
I love you bigger Papa in this life and the next! Rest easy big guy 💕
