    My condolences to the entire family. Don was a very good friend and I’ll miss him a great deal. Don was also an excellent ping pong player. He typically beat me but we had a lot of laughs hanging out together. RIP buddy!

    What a great guy Don was. Only met him a few years ago, but had great conversations with him and lots of fun. I found him to be a very kind and caring person. I will miss his friendship a lot but will cherish the good times we had. My son Jack spoke highly of him also and was saddened by his passing.

Joan St. Martin

We would like to personally thank Brian for what a warm, compassionate funeral you arranged. You always put our thoughts first and answered and responded to my many phone calls about everything. The artistry of the belongings of our son was amazing. Everything was so beautiful. So many people complimented on how the arrangement was set up by you. We as a family will never forget what you did for us in our time of need. Thank you very much Brian.
