You were a big part of our lives for so many years, hard to think your gone but ill always remember you standing in the big picture window in temple, waiting for all the kids to leave, lol. Fly high with the angels my friend, with much love.

Boy time goes by so fast. Seems like only a couple of years ago I fell off the back of the 3 wheeler. I swear I left a butt cheek print on the curb at Sheridan and Webber. I remember my first ride on a snowmobile! Me and Marlene hit the side of Pa’s house (and his propane tanks) up at Temple. Then in Saginaw, when we put up the pool and Duke drank the lemonade and vodka. Don, we laughed and shared so much fun in life. You and Marlene are the greatest!! You introduced me to Roy and you were the Best man and Matron of honor at our wedding. Life with you guys was wonderful. I love you and your kids and wish that you will Rest in Peace and fly high!!!

We were so sorry to read of Don’s passing. We have a cabin at Temple and got aquatinted with Don y e a r s ago, when we first ‘went north’ to ride dirt bikes. We met Don, at the Temple store, ‘downtown’ … And ‘called on him’ many times, to borrow a wrench or jumper cables. He was always more than willing to help. He and Marlene, while on one of their many Bike Rides, even stopped in our town to visit us. The last time we saw Don, he stopped at our cabin, on his way to the Transfer Station, he was on his golf cart. We have wondered many times where he and Marlene were. RIP Don and prayers to Marlene and family. Greg and Carol Goodrich – Marlette
