Your father and grandfather was a very special friend of our family and especially my late husband, Jimmy McElwee. Don's heart and love for everything good was evident in his life and his legacy. I know he has joined his friends in heaven (among them David Johnson and Jimmy McElwee). What a celebration they must be having! What a welcome ceremony for a wonderful man and loving friend.
