Don & Doris attended Bible Truth Fellowship in 1977 for many years. He served in the church doing whatever needed to be done. Don and his family served as janitors and usher’s, greeting everyone who attended the service. Don was a deacon along with Doris at Bible Truth. Don served those around him, he loved people and would give the shirt off of his back, his shoes and pants to anyone in need. He loved God and his church. Serving others was his way of serving God, he never requested payment and always did what was needed to be done without being asked. He passed this calling along to his children and grandchildren.

Donald will be dearly missed and remembered by all his family, immediate and extended as well as friends around the country.
