I was so sorry to learn that Don passed away. He was a very pleasant and courteous man, a true gentleman. I enjoyed the few times I was able to talk to him and he will be missed.
The picture of the 5 G’s in the Life Celebration brought back so many great memories. A very musical family and fun to be around. Those were the good ol’ days. Such a tragic end to a wonderful life. RIP Donny. You are missed!
Grimes family – I’ve known Don for 30 years through work. He would help anyone with anything and was a great friend to me. I was so sad to hear of his passing. My prayers are with you.
My sympathy to the Grimes family. Fond memories of all.
I remember you long ago. Nice fellow. Went to school with Mary Lou. Pretty neat gal. R.I.P. DON.
