He was also a great lover of cards, Euchre, Poker, Pinochle, and anything that he could have fun and "Kibitz" about. He also loved to travel with friends and his beloved wife, especially to Vegas.
Before passing Don wanted to give a very special thanks to his Hospice nurse, Anne, and his aide, Shenese and their Hospice team for the wonderful care they provided during those last days.
