Name: Stephen Bittick Date: 8/9/2017 1:04:08 PM Message: Pastor Don was one of the greatest men I have ever known. As a pastor, he was one of my role models. His quiet, thoughtful, and humble disposition drew you in to hear his wise counsel. Don's wisdom and demeanor was equaled by his loving generosity...all most to a fault, if that is even possible. I will surely miss my friend and mentor.
