  1. It was a great honor and privilege to be one of Don’s caregivers for many years. He always had a smile, loved to go to family dinners with Rick and Irene and then tell us about all of the food he ate. His face always lit up when they came to visit or take him out. I will always remember him as a gentle and kind man.

  2. I also had the privilege of being a caregiver over the years. He loved cars and motorcycles. I enjoyed looking at books and talking about the makes and models of vehicles. He always smiled and loved his time out of the facility with family. He will be missed
