Bev, Brian & Jeff. All our condolences for your loss of Don. He was a good man. Enjoyed playing city softball with him for many years and also going out after games. That was a special time for all of us and will be a cherished time in our lives forever. Hopefully after all this virus pandemic craziness, we can get together. Hugs & prayers for you during your time of grief.Love,Dean & Karen Knutson
