Nancy and Family – I was so sorry to hear of Don’s passing. As a new neighbor, I only had a couple occasions to speak with Don. They were very pleasant conversations and I wish I had been able to visit more with him as he seemed like a man with a very rich history. I know Don will be missed and hold all of you in my thoughts at this time. Rest In Peace, Don.
My deepest sympathies to Nancy, the kids, grandkids and all of Don’s family. He has touched our lives along with many others with his caring and supportive personality. I will miss our conversations and friendship and will continue to hold special memories close to my heart.
We are so sorry to hear of Don’s passing. Don and Nancy were a couple on Highland Lake that were held close. Don’s years on the HLPOA board were an asset to Highland Lake but his friendship, intuition and intelligence were something we greatly cherished.
He will be sorely missed,
Brad and Kristen Peek
