Don
Worked with you for many years. You were a true friend.
Jennifer & family,
Sorry to hear about Don passing. I do hope Sally & Boo are being cared for by the family.
They were good neighbors at Montesa. Will miss seeing them walking their dog this winter.
Grandpa you where loved by many and will be missed by just as many. I love you and know you are in a good place and are watching over us all.
Dad, you had such a full life. Though it seems your accomplishments we’re too many to mention, your travels took you far. You weren’t just my Dad… You were my strength and support. You’ll be sorely missed and never replaced. God speed Poppi. I love you.
