    Saw Don, Neal, and wife when I was in Frankfort recently. Played a lot of golf in the Friday choose-up, and Don was a part of that group. He was always a gentleman. Bonnie was also a part of the choose-up. Both were good golfers. My sympathy to the family.

    So sorry for your loss. They were great neighbors to Hazel and George. We will be unable to come up and pay our respect as we will be out of town for our son’s wedding, but wanted your family to know we are so sorry for your loss.

    Dear Neal and Lorrie: Don was a gentleman. His joyful character was appreciated and welcomed. Our family is praying for God’s peace…the peace that passes all understanding… for your family. “Mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied.” Jude verse 2
