I knew Don while I was growing up. My mom worked at the Polish Falcons and since it was pretty much next door to our house I visited alot. Don was always super nice to me. He would tell me jokes and play pool with me. One time, I was wanting to go to my grandparents house and my mom was working so Don drove me to their house, in his beloved Corvette! My condolences to his family!
