In lieu of flowers please do something for Alzheimer's. Walk, volunteer, pray for a cure to control this wicked disease.

Don played hard (basketball,) worked hard (Ironworker Local 395), owned a boutique, ran for state representative, brokered real estate, served his country in the army as point guard for President Kennedy and loved everyone in Christ.

There will be crowns in Heaven for him as he walks the streets of gold.

Don's ceremony of a 21 gun salute & taps at the Arlington National Cemetery will be Father's Day weekend Friday, June 16th at 11:00 a.m.

For everyone who also knows Mom & Dad, there will be a service to follow. Exit army, enter Navy. 1 p.m. same rules apply. Dad was awarded a president's citation for his role on the USS Honolulu.

You are cordially invited to attend either or both ceremonies as your heart so desires.
