Our hearts go out to Caroleen and the family. Don was such a great guy.
We both worked with Caroleen before her retirement and we use to visit Don's Driving Range frequently. Mike taught me how to swing a golf club there and our son,Matt, would use the batting cages for practice. We really missed the range after it closed. Don was so friendly and always had a smile on his face. Sending Caroleen and the family hugs and prayers.
