Dear Janet and family,
I am so sorry.  Don was a wonderful man and a great neighbor.  Don and Janet were always there when I needed help.  During difficult times, it is comforting to know that others care about you.  You all are in my prayers.
Love,
Donna Smoker

Jan & the “Boys,”
My sincere condolences.  Don was a tremendous friend, supervisor at work, and lifting instructor.  I’ll never forget the weightlifting sessions I had with him in your basement when you boys were just kids.  We couldn’t have had better next-door neighbors!  
Best wishes,
Walt Wildemann

My Pop-pop, Donald Leach, was a fantastic man who always made time for his gradkids and loved us all honestly. He was a man a few words, but when he did speak he was straightforward and truthful. He was a man who believed in living life in the moment, and I will miss him from the bottom of my heart. I love you and miss you Pop-pop.
Sincerely,
Mary Grace Leach
