Don was one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. Sweet demeanor & a great sense of humor. I had the pleasure of working with him at HomeStar. He introduced me to his kayaking buddies & I have many great memories of paddling with him & the group on the rivers & lakes.
Sincerest condolences to his family & loved ones. He will be dearly missed.

My deepest condolences to the entire family! What a shock this was. Don was a wonderful man. He was such a kind soul and he will be missed. I worked with him at Homestar; I work in the customer service department there, and had the opportunity on many occasions to work with him regarding patient equiupment issues and repairs. He was always such a patient,compassionate and caring person. May he Go with God and Rest in Peace. Donna Waltz
