Rest in peace buddy.
I am saddened to hear this news. While I haven’t seen Don in a long time, he was always a memorable guy to be around. He had a larger than life personality. Always greeted you with a big “Hello” and a hug. His love of family was always evident and to be admired. Carole and I send our prayers and best thoughts to you all. Don will be missed.
Don, you always had a big smile when I saw you & some good stories ,
May you rest in peace my friend 🙏💔
The Musgrove Family has meant a great deal to me since 1986. I am sorry that due to the observances this weekend I cannot be with you but under no circumstances will I not be thinking of all of you.
