Troy, You may not remember me but your brother Don was my first love in school. Was very sad to hear from close friend, Steve that he had passed. All of you are in my prayers.
I loved Don. He was a good friend. I admired his passion for music, his integrity, is earnestness, his willingness to give you the shirt off of his back. I loved playing music with him, and will miss him greatly. I am sending prayers and thoughts to his grieving family. I know he was so proud of his children, and grandchild.
I’m so saddened by the loss of Don. He was a great musician and played with my brother Dan Dritt, Steve Lindeman and Barry Johnson. I know the grief you are feeling, my prayers are always with you and your family. I do have a few pics of them all playing together. I can try to send them if you want. Prayers
