Don was a veteran having served his country in the United States Navy. He loved his community, always extending his support to the Royal Theatre and the Morgan County Library. He loved his “girls” at the Versailles Florist and Greenhouse and enjoyed talking with them while ordering roses for those who held a special place in his heart. Don was an avid reader and always looked forward to reading the New York Times. When Marge passed away, his dog Freddie filled the void and remained his companion. Don is survived by his best friend, Daniel Nugent and wife Robin and many friends in the community. Don, our “average American”, “no need for a response”, you’ll be missed by all who knew and loved you. There are no services planned at this time. Inurnment will be next to Marge in the Versailles Cemetery. Cremation arrangements are under the direction and care of the Kidwell-Garber Funeral Home of Versailles.
