On behalf of Uncle Don's nephews, we were blessed to have an uncle who taught us how to joke and laugh at life and one another, and how to cherish spending time together. Uncle Don was an original character in so many ways. His facial expressions and mannerisms were priceless, and I still copy many of them when joking with my students, and friends and family. From a young age I looked forward to visiting with Uncle Don. His honesty and love of family made all who visited him feel welcome and special. I send my sincere thoughts of gratitude to Uncle Don, knowing that he made the world a better place for all who knew him. And to those who are able to attend Uncle Don's funeral tomorrow, I will be there in spirit, knowing that his life is being celebrated by so many that he has touched dearly. We were all fortunate to have him in our lives.
