Don was my daughter, Rhonda's father in law & I first met him in 1985, the year when she & David married. My first memories of him was his kind & caring personality. He loved people & was a great Christian man.
I was always impressed that his farm in Illinois which he operated before retirement, supplied vegetables for the great Campbell's Soup Company.
I was blessed to know him & I appreciate Don for the values that he taught my son in law.##imported-begin##Murl Edwards White##imported-end##
Mary and family,
We all loved Don's tomatoes and stopped in late September 2002 knowing our chances of them still producing was very slim. I will always remember how hard Don searched for that little hand full of small tomatoes, and will always be greatful he took the time and energy to find them because they were the last tomatoes Bobby had before his death. Don was a good man and we will all miss him.
God Bless you all,##imported-begin##Nell Raper##imported-end##
I have some great memories of my grandpa. I used to help him plant corn and harvest it. I used to sit with him on the porch and talk. I'll miss you Grandpa. I love you!

Don was the best father in law. He was always laughing and telling stories of when he was small. He had some funny stories. I love you "Dad" and I know you are running in Heaven right now!
