I am very sorry to hear about Don's passing . He was a good friend to my dad for many years. I also have very fond memories of him from when I was a student working at the PUC.
I was very sorry to hear of Don's passing. He was a very good friend of my father and mother. Dad and Don both worked for the P. U. C. but my father was on the water works department. He continued to be a good friend when Don lived in the same apartment building, as my mom and dad did. My prayers go out to Cindy and Don's family.
I was sad to hear of the passing of Don. He was a good friend of my husband, Del and I. They both worked for the P.U.C and we lived in the same apartment building for several years. My prayers go out to Cindy and the Smith Family
I am so sad over Don's passing. I will miss talking to him and all of the stories he told me about my dad and other PUC workers he knew over the years. My sympathy goes out to Cindy and Sheila and all of Don's family.
