Don was taken from us much too soon and will be missed in the everyday life of so many who cherished his company. He had a wonderful sense of humor, a devotion to his children and grand children and to his dog. He surrounded himself with good people all the time and loved to share stories. Donald enjoyed so many things in life but especially the outdoors and his dog. He treated the land and forest with great respect and only took what was needed to sustain his living. He had a great knowledge of trees and regarded them with as much respect for their resilience to grow as one would for humans.
