    So sorry to hear of Don's passing, but we know that everyone has lots of wonderful memories as do we. A great friend for many years even though our paths have not crossed too much recently. Thinking of everyone at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

    Don, rest in peace. Billie I know your loss, you have always been a very strong woman and will do what you need to carry on. We did have good times together. It has been almost 12 years since David passed, still living just down the road towards Gores. Sorry we lost touch.

    Our sincere sympathy to all the family. We fondly remember times spent together in Armada, MI, and back as far as the A Circuit in Canada.
