Don was a good friend and racing buddy. He fought hard against the virus and lasted a month and a half before it finally wore him out. RIP buddy you will be missed.

I met Don though Mr. Funk at some midget race ( Wayne County I think) bout 5 years ago and we hit it off. WOW what a great guy !!! Always had a good time with Don, just a really fun guy. Going to miss him for sure. RIP My Friend
Over the years, I would always take time to stop and talk to Don, anywhere I would see him. He was just that interesting and that funny. He had some interesting stories and knew a lot of people. I remember one conversation, even though I don't remember the original topic we were discussing and Don looked at me and says "Don't EVER try outdrink Whitey Herzog." I told him I would make sure to remember that.
He'll be missed. That's for sure.
