Dearest Peggy and family,
I just discovered that Don had passed away. So sad to hear of his passing. Mom and dad (Lynn and Geraldine Chambers) always enjoyed the times when you and Don came to visit them. You are both such sweet individuals and I loved it when I would hear Don laugh. Blessed with good memories. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Our love to you,

We are so glad that we were able to visit with Don recently. I will always remember my uncle that joked around, especially with his making his nose pop prank, when I was a girl.
We love you â¤ï¸

Peggy and all the family: I'm so sorry to learn of Don's death. He was a great friend. Some of the best memories of my life are hunting with Don and especially squirrel hunting with him and a dog near Rover and Plainview. I will miss him. Sorry for your loss.
