Dear Pat
Angela and I are so sorry for your loss. I can remember enjoying good times with you and Don - even tho' so many years ago. It seems so unfair to lose your life partner and father to Matthew and Melissa...so like our father (Uncle Johnny).
We love you all and keep you in our thoughts and prayers, especially over this Passion Week.
God Keep you and Bless you and your families.

Wow this is a surprise to us that have worked with Don for years at CAT. Don was always very helpful to us that were looking for solutions to problems. He had a wealth of knowledge and very friendly. When we talked we always talked about his grandchild. Don was so excited any time he could visit them.
I'll miss Don.
