One of my best teenage memories involved Don and Nancy. I was at the Wesleyan campgrounds in Hastings talking to Mary Burdock when Don and Nancy rolled up in bright red Valiant convertible. Don hollered to us "we're going to the Dog and Suds, wanna go?" Well Mary and I jumped in and we took off. Had the best time. Don had a great sense of humor and a big laugh was always at the ready.

Will miss your weirdness, your laughter, your sense of humor will always cherish the memories from youth group when you were the leader, and the amazing trip to Florida.
