Don leaves behind a loving family: his son, daughter, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, nephews, niece , cousins, and seven grandchildren and many friends, all of whom will miss him dearly.
He was preceded in death by his father, mother, brother, uncles, aunt, and grandparents.

In lieu of flowers, contributions are welcomed to fulfill Don's wish to be laid to rest in Lake Tahoe, a place he held dear. Please consider donating to assist with this final tribute.
