Don, "Snowbird" as he told me was his nickname had many a good laughs when we both started at Harrah's Cherokee as table games dealers we actually met at the Job Fair, when we both were applying for the positions.
Don was a proud Steelers fan wearing His Steelers Jacket every chance he got. We often joked about me being a Cowgirls fan. Don fought a long hard battle with his illness I often prayed for him when he was out of work. I later met Tonya and Tommy an always ask Tonya to let me know how her dad was doing an I always ask her to tell Her DadI was praying for him an that I was thinking about him.
I remember talking with Tonya after she found him after an incident .
Don was a very kind man and a great father an friend. I will miss him.
