So sorry to hear of your great loss.
Don taught me a whole lot and I will never forget how he would make fun of my lack of mechanical
common sense and then you would help (actually you took pity on me after an hour and
ended up) doing that rear spline servce at the ranch when I stopped by on my way somewhere or other
I have not gotten much better but I curse a bit less now
And who can forget his "10 things I learned on the blue grey, kentucky or whatever rides"
You folks had one of the best "how we met and got together " stories of any couple I know.
Rest in peace my friend and may his memory always be a blessing to all who knew him I will have some single malt in his honor later tonight

Looking through some old pictures I found this one of Don. It's from the Hillbilly Ride where we raised money for the school in Pocahontas, VA.  Don was definitely one of the "Good" guys! Tracy you and your family are in our prayers. Please let us know what the arrangements are. I'm sure that there are those here that would want to attend. |

Tracy, We are so sorry to hear this. Several of us were talking about you and Don in Sparta a couple weeks ago. One of my most memorable rides was with Don, Joe, Gordan, Charlie Mac, and Big Eric on the Hillbilly scouting ride in Franklin Wv. in February 2011. Keith and Jane.

Thank You all , doing it all alone was a very rough go..
Today was semi hard day.
Had to go to the FP. And drop off the things I wanted cremated with him.
I did get to see his shell one last time. Did my thing with tobacco prayers ,smudge him .
And so on...
he never wanted anyone to know what was going on .
Maybe I'll tell about it soon.. Or not ...

Thank You all ... It has now been a week since Don crossed over. He did not want anyone to know that he was ill. That was his wish. Picked Don's ashes up on Wednesday. I was truly blessed to have our dear mate go with me .. And had helped me get the farm ready for winter. A few more mates are going to help me some more. Thank You for the cards, and gifts. You have no idea how much that will help out. Life is going to be very hard.. With winter coming . |

Tracy we remember the good times. My wife Iris and I met you and Don at a Chinese buffet on I-77 when we were staying in Hillsville Va. many years ago. We rode South toward Mt. Airy and stopped at a greenhouse where you wanted to make a purchase of some sort. I couldn't keep up with either of you. So sorry for your loss.
