David and family: So sorry to hear about the passing of your brother. Keeping all of the Ware family in our prayers during this time. Love in Christ
Now this was a wonderful man! I am so sorry for your loss Walker, Chet and the rest of the family! The last conversation I had with him was about how much he loved his boys. We thought it was so funny how they fought to be the favorite❤️
The family have my prayers at this time. Had known Don thirty years and he was a Dad, husband. Grandfather and great co-worker. He will be missed.
We are so sorry. We enjoyed visiting with Donnie when he was living in the Hebron Community and we would be camping over there. Devin has spent several afternoons playing with his grandsons and they have been up to the camper to play with Devin. Our prayers are with you all.
We love, you,
Dan and Janie Campbell
IT WAS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH DON. HE WAS LEVEL HEADED AND A FINE GENTLEMAN. VIETNAM WAS CERTAINLY A EPIC POINT IN HIS LIFE. EMPLOYMENT SECURITY DID ITS SELF A FAVOR BY HIRING DON.
