Sharon Anderson wrote a sympathy message

“I was shocked to hear of Don's death. I was in school with his sister at Lynn Elementary then a rival at Wurtland when he was on the team at Mckell High that humiliated us with a score of over 70...in BASEBALL!!!! But, we were always proud that he was a Cincinnati Red and a great player and person. I pray for your peace and God's grace during this time. I pray the memories are sweet, funny and as loving as possible in this world. Sharon Millhouse Anderson”
