Don and Lucille have been like surrogate parents to me for 60 years. With a glimmer in his eye, Don always called me by my nickname: Tutti Fruitti (he was the only one who could get away with calling me by that name!). I was always welcome in their home, and treated as though I was a daughter, occasionally subjected to Don's gruffness, but always loved, and knew he would be there for me no matter what I needed. Losing Don is like losing my own father all over again. My thoughts and prayers go out to Lucille, Sharlene, the grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
