My favorite memory of Uncle Don was when they came in from Michigan each Summer for vacation, he would gather all of us kids together, throw both pockets full of change into the air and let it land on the ground and we picked it all up and went home that night thinking we were rich kids/w all that money 😊 How loving and kind he always was to us♥️
