"Don (Mellow) was a man who consistently offered kindness and laughter to everyone. He never met a stranger and would often talk to anyone he encountered in an elevator. He was patient with himself and others as exhibited by 25 trips to the hardware store when remodeling his bathroom. There are so many wonderful memories that could be shared and all include fun and laughter. His bright light will be missed forever. He leaned all this from a loving family. Prayers for his family. Thanks for sharing him."
