Don was our milk man and friend for 30 some years. We have so many fond memories of his visits to our farm. When my brother and I were little, Don would have us stand out by his milk truck with him and look at ourselves in the reflection of his truck that gave the illusion of a fun house mirror... sometimes you'd be tall and skinny and sometimes you'd be short and fat. Don would always get a chuckle out of all of us acting silly and seeing our distorted reflections. I have known Don pretty much my entire life and I always looked forward to his arrival. Don seemed to really enjoy his job and creating a friendship with my parents, and watching my brother and I grow. He seemed like a part of our family. He was just such a likable guy and our family shall never forget him. I ran into Don one Sunday morning at an IHOP about 7 or 8 years ago, and told him I was Gerald Lockwood's daughter, and he was so tickled that I remembered him and thought enough to come up and say hi to him. My parents, Gerald & Sandra Lockwood, send their deepest sympathy to you, as well as myself and my brother. God bless your family. All our love, Gerald & Sandra Lockwood, Sheldon Lockwood, and Tina Helbert.

He was a great man to many of us as kids, a basketball coach who truly cared about all of us and gave of his time to make us better players and people. I cannot pick out one person from my life that was a more positive influence who wanted us to work hard to achieve goals and be good Christians. I am sure you will miss him, his wit and love of life. Just know that there are a lot more of us out here who Don touched and helped in ways we did not even know then. I am sorry I could not make the viewing or funeral due to our jobs and sick kids this week. Please know we are praying for you, and I know Don is now complete with God. God's blessings to you all, Rich & Rena' Greener and family Sue, Diane, Jim, Don & families,
