A service and entombment will be held at a later date at the National Cemetery in Oregon.
Don was a delightful friend and wonderful neighbor. It was always very pleasant to visit with Don at the many breakfasts we enjoyed here at the Buccaneer Trace Apartments. It was kind of Don and Margaret to attend the funeral for my Wife, Nanny and she would have been very pleased. Don was a good soldier bearing his afflictions with great dignity. He was one of my most intelligent neighbors and always a very good conversationalist. I will truly miss him!
