I was so sorry to hear about Don’s passing. I worked with him at Chinook briefly and will always remember him fondly. He was a wonderful person to be around and had a great sense of humor. He will be missed!
We have the memories of friendship that has lasted over the years. The laughter, the joy of being with Don will remain with us forever. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Good-bye to a long-time friend. It doesn’t seem that long ago that we met at Miller Junior High. Then came high school, Grays Harbor, Western and OSU. Thanks for all of the good memories. Sandy and I have enjoyed the times we have spent with you and Carol. We had a lot of good times that will never be forgotten.
Mr. Wilson was an excellent teacher, colleague and friend. It was a privlidge to have known and to have learned from him! We were delighted when he taught our son. He will be missed by many.
Don was an amazing man with a huge heart and a great sense of humor. For this man who taught middle school for so many years and to still have a vibrant and enthusiastic outlook on life is a testament to who he was and what he did for all of his students and collegues. Don will be missed and he will forever be part of my life experience both professional and personal.
I met Don through my best friend and his step daughter Stephanie. He was one of the happiest and nicest men I have ever had the pleasure to talk with. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Dear Carol & family,
Don was a special person and he will solely be missed. It’s funny, we just thought of the two of you when we were at Roosters restraunt last Sunday. Our prayers & thoughts are with you.
