Deepest Sympathy for your loss of Evelyn. I had met Evelyn many times having known Don from my Mayville Metal days back in the 60s. From what I remember she was a wonderful lady. During those days at Mayville Metal Don and I went on sales trips together. He taught me a lot about the sales game. As a friend after Mayville Metal I would bump into Don at the Mayville Golf club. As friends I had always referred to Don as Uncle Don. I hope that he is doing well. God bless your entire family at this trying time.

Sincerely:

Richard ( Dick ) Cooper
