Sorry to hear of Don's passing. I worked with him when we had a VW repair shop in Palmdale. We also played in the Legends Band for many years all over So/Cal. He was the most enthusiastic Sax player I ever worked with, and not too bad on the piano either. All of us who played in the band send their respects.

Don was my Big Brother. He loved working on cars and playing in the garage with his band on the weekends. Our mom used to swear he fixed the lawn mower at 18 months. We had a lot of fun Halloween’s. He loved his kids and exposed them to many fun and interesting things. I will miss him. Love Patty. Sorry I can’t be there.
