been many of years but don was a teacher and leader in every
thing he did the industry and family should be proud of his efforts was privileged to have known him.
I had the pleasure of seeing Don almost every morning when I served him coffee at McDonalds. We met again when I joined the casino. He always had a kind word, a joke and a smile for me. I will miss his quick wit, sense of humor and gentleness. RIP my Friend Don.
