"And so, the gray clouds parted, and God smiled upon him and his soul was taken to Heaven on a sunbeam."

They lived in Twin Falls, Idaho and had two children Laura Christine born 04-13-1957 and Darrell Lee born 0117-1960. Don was a very proud, hardworking man. He worked for Kimberly Nurseries for the better part of his life, trucking plants from southern California to Canada and landscaping all over the Magic Valley, including many celebrity homes in Sun Valley. He talked often of his many travels and about all the businesses and community areas he helped to maintain.
