From Janay Robinson:
Don will always be remembered. He was welcoming, funny and a stand up guy. I have many memories of him. He will be missed.
From Doc Carlson:
Don will surely be missed in the Albion community! I heard many great stories at the fire house from Don and he was always an inspiration of his many ventures and all the things he accomplished and did for the Albion valley. Rest in peace Gundy.
From Amelia Clark:
Don will be a face I really miss seeing around town - he was someone you were lucky to know. You could always count on him asking you how you were doing and take the time to stop and chat with. He will be missed.
From Brett and Nicole Stauffer:
Don was a kind soul. He always had a smile and a jovial “Hey Kid how are you doing today” followed by a warm embrace. We have been his neighbor for the past eleven years, but I (Nicole) knew Don all my life while growing up in Albion. The man loved his valley and volunteered much of his time doing his best to improve the many facets of our rural town. In his later years we always admired his tenacity. When necessary the man knew how to rally the troops. Don was a man full to the brim with gratitude, who never hesitated to call or stop by to express sincere words of appreciation to our family throughout the years. I was fortunate to have one of those phones calls right before he passed, You will be missed Gundy.
From Gene Pitchford:
Will always love and miss you Don. One of the nicest people I ever met.
From Tristen Navarrete :
Don was one of the greats, there was hardly a day where he didn’t stop by to see me or call to check on the American Legion P.O. Box. He always had something smart to say and I’ll miss his sass and his stories. Rest in peace, Don.
From Chuck Driscoll:
Don was a giant in the American Legion and gave great service to all of the Veterans in our communities, Rest in Peace, Brother.
