We have so many memories to share about Don. He was a very smart, funny, and intelligent man. Don loved to read as a kid. Boy did his reading pay off! He attended Wesleyan College and The University of Michigan on full scholarship. While Don's brother was out playing war and trapping animals, Don preferred to spend time reading his favorite reading series as a child, The Narnia series. Although, his brother remembers him loving, "The Hobbit" the most. His brother had Dyslexia and had difficulty reading so he lived vicariously through Don. Dave is a walking encyclopedia because of his brother. They had such a close, loving relationship that only people dream of having. Although distance kept them apart for the last 15 years, there love and friendship towards each other was one that all would envy. This past summer we got together for a few days and the cousins were able to play with one another and of course the brothers got some time to hang out. We had some very special memories. We are so happy and grateful that Benjamin is loved and looked up to by his younger cousins Chloe and Bryce. They worship him and think he is the greatest. Benjamin has such a talent for drawing and is appreciated by his two cousins. He drew a picture of a castle that Chloe and Bryce still talk about. Benjamin knows Chloe loves parrots, and the heart of gold that he has, he sends her pictures of parrots. We know that Don's memories will be kept alive by all. We will miss you and love you forever. Your voice will always be heard. You will always be in our hearts.
Love, Jen LaCoss
Sister in law of Don
