Don was a precious Christian man. I worked with him a lot at Quality Care. He never refused to come visit a resident when asked. Just a wonderful man.
Darrell and family — I’m so sorry about your dad. We are praying for peace for you and your family during this time. Cindy and Dave
I have known Don for many years. When I was fumbling around the back of Hillcrest looking for dollies or other "stuff" he was always so helpful and friendly. At church I appreciated his gentle unassuming spirit. I know he is in a better place with the Lord he loved!
Darrell and Family;
We are sorry for the death of your father. I understand the last months were hard on your father and the family. We understand your grief.
GOD bless you and your family.
Uncle Donald was a wonderful person. Treated roughly by life, he kept an amazing attitude and kept his family in his heart. I miss you Uncle Donald!
I just found this obituary onlibe. I remember “Brother Don” fondly. He pastored 2 rural Baptist churches part-time in the Sedalia, MO area from about 1957 to 1963. He was the minister who baptized me. I began writing him some time after his boys were grown (keeping him updated on families from both churches he had known). My family & I visited him on a very hot day in July, 2005 on our way to visit family in Austin.
I just found this online. I worked with him at HBMC during the 90″s. He was my immediate supervisor. I enjoyed working and talking with him. My sincere condolences to his family.
