Don, you may have displayed an outward cantankerous attitude, however, your heart and actions indicated that you never met a stranger. You knew everyone and everyone knew you and they were always glad to see you. We enjoyed many conversations reminiscing about our time in the Army. I really enjoyed those conversations and will miss them and you. You always treated me with respect and was glad I married your daughter, Barbara. I too, am very glad I married her. I will miss our dinner's out and you giving the waitress a hard time. They always seemed to enjoy your ribbing. The waitress would always ask about you if you were not with us. Don't worry my friend, I'll continue the legacy.
You were loved by your family and well liked by all who new you.
Rest In Peace Sergeant Major. I salute you.
