I'm really sorry to hear this news. I got to know Don years ago when I lived in Pike, NY and spent most of my spare time helping/learning in Mark Hootman's shop. I think it was in Du Quoin, IL when I first met Don and Randy and I had one of those very rare conversations where you really felt at ease, like you were talking with an old friend even though you just met. After that pull Don called the shop and Mark built Don's motor so I got to see him pretty regularly in Western New York for a few years, and always enjoyed catching up with him.
Don was one of the nicest guys you could ever meet; he was kind and thoughtful and always asked how I was doing, how my house restoration was coming. He was easy to talk with about pulling as well as about life in general.
My condolences and prayers are with Randy and the rest of the family, may God give you peace and comfort in this difficult time.

This page is a free service. The cost is covered out of my pocket. It takes a great deal of time and a fair amount of money to keep this website going. Donations for: photos, classified ads, forum discussion, etc... are appreciated.
Side Note: We are no longer accepting PayPal donations. They have changed their terms of service and stated they would fine PayPal users for spreading "misinformation" and "hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory". PayPal did not provide definitions for some of these vague terms. Woke corporate policies regarding "misinformation" could result in an automatic fine of $2,500 which would have been removed directly from the customer’s PayPal account. PayPal did backdown from some of their policies but quietly implemented portions of them in later terms of service. A financial institute has no right to monitor social media accounts or speech. This is unacceptable and I'll no longer do business with PayPal.
