From: Terry Schafer
Relation: Worked with him at Mikes Auto
Don was a great friend and mentor to me at Mikes Auto over the years I worked there. He was always willing and able to help with any autobody issue in such a patient way. Always taking his work seriously but he never took himself seriously. A good and gentle soul has left us and we will miss him.
