My wife Judy and I met Don through our neighbors and friends Allen and Theresa Monchil. He was one of those special people that you almost immediately feel comfortable with even though you just met.

Don was always of good humor, interesting and up to date on most current events which led to many enjoyable and lively conversations between Don and myself.

Judy was very moved by Don's passing saying "he was such a nice man & I'm going to really miss him."

Don,our time with you was way too short but now you are with God & Susan forever. Rest in peace friend.

I never had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Monchil. His obit caught my eye. I was fortunate enough to have been raised by my parents and grandparents of the Greatest Generation. My Dad was a WWII non-combat Navy pilot and my Granddad a Army lifer (WWI, WWII and Korea). All of my family survived the Depression and the wars and had the mental and physical scars to prove it. I just wanted to let you know that obviously Mr. Monchil lived an extrodinary life and there are thousands of us out there that appreciated their scarfices and determination. I already support the Humane Society, but will take extra pride today when I donate in Mr. Monchul's honor.

Don was our neighbor and more than that a very dear friend. He was the kindest and most intelligent man. I don't think there was a subject he couldn't discuss or a book he hadn't read. He will be missed more than he ever realized. He changed the life of everyone that he touched.

Don was a neighbor of ours (my wife Norma & myself-John/Bill) we met in our front yard. Don was walking with his Son's Dog Sadie. We talked for a while & this became a frequent occurrence we looked forward too. Don would come up to our front Porch & set and we get a drink of water and we would talk about what ever. This went on for quiet a number of mouths. as we both enjoyed the time. I considered Don a close friend and looked forward to visiting with him. We miss him & Sadie (his dog) much.

Flown West, eh, Don? Gonna miss you - you were one of a kind. One of the original great reps. A great friend and great correspondent. Here are a few more pix - one of him flying his P-51, and another with the F-86 Saber. He sent me those. And two I took - a better one from his visit to the Museum of Flight and another after I gave him a ride in my airplane. He really liked that and took the controls for a while proving he still remembered.

Semper Fi, Good Buddy.
