WayneCoeArtistBlacksmith Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 We will miss Don, I looked forward to seeing at conferences several times a year from Alabama, Georgia and Ohio. Don was probably a member of more ABANA affiliates than anyone else in the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divermike Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I knew Don, every time I took a class in an odd location, or went to a hammer in somewhere, that guy would turn up. He looked ok at quad state, dang, he will be missed, that guy logged a tone of miles and touched a lot of folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was giving right up to the bitter end way to go our friend Don. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
