It was with great sadness that I read of Don's passing. Don was one of the good guys that we used to see and talk to at all the NE specialties back in the old days. On a hot day Don would often offer up a "cold one" and sit and talk dogs. He indeed did breed some very nice animals but that is not what I will remember him for. In my experience he was a nice person to be around and we will (and have) miss(ed) him. Our condolences to Mary and the rest of their family. Rest in peace friend.
