The family is grateful for the loving care provided by the staff at The Arbors of Carroll, especially John who transported Don to his multitude of doctor appointments the last 6 months and the staff at the Fairfield Medical Center. His friends and neighbors at Roxton Ravine, where Don and Jane have resided the last sixteen years, deserve a special thank you for all of their love and support.
