I will truly miss Don , remembering his jokes and the many stories he told of his home town gggrowning up. Hunting and fishing was a regular subject every Thursday night while bowling together , in which he was an outstanding bowler. May God continue blessing the Hacke family during the lost of a love one. My sincere condolence to you all. BJ
