Just a note to add to this story.  Don and his second wife, Shirley, were married  for 34 years.  They were devoted to each other and she was faithful during his illness later in life.  Shirley passed away 364 days...1 year minus 1 day...after Don.  
They are both missed very much.

I well remember Don and Linda and visiting with their family along with my mother. I recall when we heard of his terrible motorcycle accident in Klamath Falls. It's good to read that he recovered so well and went on to have a long fruitful life. We all sort of congregated together for a time, Michael and Audrey Kilgore, (weren't they related to you?), my mother Hazel Larson and Phyllis Kilgore, Diane Stout. Anyway, my condolences. I'm so glad Donald was able to go on and have a wonderful life.
