"Don and I worked together on many glass factory projects in various factories around the country. He was an excellent electrician superintendent and I trusted and depended on him completely. Over those years, Don and I became very good friends. With time and distance separating us I am sorry to say that we did not see each other as often as we should have and I will forever regret that. My deepest condolences to family and friends. Rest In Peace Don and be sure to say hi to my Janice up there. Love you my friend Ed Sayers Sr."
